If you have a Woodcraft near you they have all the instructions for thier pens in a file cabinet and can provide you with a set. Have you checked different vendors (AS,Bera,PSI,CSUSA)? Someone on this forum will probably respond and have a set.

This is not always true, some print off the website "on demand".

Call ahead before you assume they will have it.

If not, call a couple other stores (if no one here responds), one will be able to mail them to you.

The desk pen - is it 7mm? If so, you can make your own mandrel. Take an old mandrel (full size) and cut it shorter, 3-5" long. Now grind a point on one end. Insert the other end into a Jacobs chuck. Push (drilled) pen blank onto mandrel until the blank blank bottoms out and the point of the mandrel sticks into the wood inside the blank. That is basically what you would be buying. I believe CSUSA also sells a mandrel for a desk pen.

On the woodcraft web page they give most of the instructions. Go to the description page for the pen kit you have and look around the middle of the page there will be a tab for "Instructions". Here is the link for the American rollerball as an example. Hope this helps

You might find the same pen on berea's or PSI's site. Most of woodcraft's pen kits come from them.

Thanks for your help on this.
I was able to get the information on the rollerball. Visited the Woodcraft store on a business trip this week. they were unable to help with the 7mm desk kit. When i got back i had a new CS catlog and they have a similar kit with mandrel and i will give it a try.
