Good job. Just got through with a couple myself. Just got the tips and put them on slimlines for a combo pen. Found I needed to make a press bushing to install them. Used a 7mm hole in an ebony cutoff, worked just fine.

Thanks Gary,
Craft Supplies sells the bushing to install the trim ring.

Hey James, heres what a combo from a slim kit looks like done up as a single barrel. Turned it between centers with no bushings, what a pain with no brass on one end.

Looks good Gary. I have some kits that are just the stylus tip. I need to convert them to fit the larger tubes for finials as I don't turn many 7mm pens.

The 7mm makes a good slip fit into an 8mm tube so it should be easy to adapt to an 8mm kit with the help of some thick CA. Bigger would take multi sized holes, say 7 on one end of a blank with say a 10 part way through from the other end. Love to see what you come up with.

No worries.......

The center one is too small for me to do much with, here is your third pic, with some minor adjustments.

I turn mostly Cigars & Wall St II's, Sierra's sized pens. I might have to turn an adapter to fit. The stylus does have a 1/4" stud so maybe just take the Wall St finial apart then drill it out to fit the stylus tip. I saw that tip on another forum.
