I have tried to make some pencils using slimline kits from Wood Turningz. To my dismay I failed miserably in assembling these things. I bought three kits and all three have not come together. The wide part on the mechanism seems to get stuck in the center ring or down lower and when I tried to pull it back out to evaluate the problem, the tip came off and got stuck in the bottom part and now I can not get it out. What am I missing? I have made a few slimline pens and assembly was easy, but the pencils are giving me all kinds of trouble. Is there a trick I am missing here or are these just a PIA to assemble.
