Preparing the Blank:
• Cut 2, 3/4” blanks to length of the tube(s) and add 1/16” for squaring off.
• Drill holes lengthwise through the blanks. (12.5mm Upper blank, 10.5mm for lower blank)
• Spread glue over the tube(s), insert the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside.
Center the tubes lengthwise inside the blanks.
• When the glue is dry, square the ends of the blanks. You can use a 7mm barrel trimmer with the proper sleeve,
or a universal pen blank squaring jig with a power disc sander. Take the excess material down ush with the
ends of the brass tube. (some kits do not trim beyond the length of the tube since this may interfere with
operation of the mechanism and assembly. Use a barrel trimmer to clean the inside of the tube.
