This is my first Olympian Elite pen that I have made. I am happy with it except for that when I pressed the threaded coupler into the blank, the thread broke off on one side. Is there any way to help with not breaking the threads. I was even being careful!

Very nice! I really like the thin cut(s) and the centering of the cuts for the segment inserts! That's a real bear (to me, anyway) to have things centered well. I struggle with kerf.

For the insert: What kind of press are you using to assemble? I put in a scrap of leather (you could just as well use a scrap of T-shirt, or a piece of chamois) as padding for the pen hardware when I assemble the pen(s).

Regards,
