I'm about to try my first casing pens. I have the casing end of things worked out. I'll be using the casing for the bottom half of the pen. My questions are:
1. When making a casing pen .... I don't use the kit's center band, correct?
2. When turning the top half of the pen, I'm going to want the bottom end ...... of the top half .... to match the end of the casing's diamter, correct?
3. I shouldn't be using the standard slimline bushings for the bottom end of the top half, is that right? So, should I make my own bushing based upon the diameter of the casing end of the bottom half?
I know there are tutorials and a bunch of posts, I just haven't come across these answers.
Thanks for taking the time to help.
