FAQ #2
What do you mean by SHOP MADE BUSHING?????
Answer #2
I find it helpful to make and use a small step bushing on the business end of the pencil as shown in this picture.
The yellow piece is the shop made step bushing. The RED step is a guide to make a tenon for the pencil nib. Is is cut with a 1/8 inch parting tool (YELLOW X)
The second step BLUE provides a guide line for the start of the outside diameter of the pencil body.
