I have had several times where pens under construction self-destruct for one reason or another. I have been tempted to salvage the tubes from these failures but I wonder if it is worth it. The time it takes to turn off the blank (wood or poly) and the possibility that the tube has been reduced below its minimum length by trimming during assembly or that the outside diameter has been reduced too much by sanding so that the CA glue will stick makes it problematic. Do you salvage tubes, and under what circumstances do you say, "It ain't worth it" ?
