I was turning a European and screwed up big. That's the one that only has three bushings when you really need four. I started by putting my blanks on the mandrel in the opposite order I normally do, stupid me and of course I did the obvious. Forgetting they were on backwards I proceeded to turn the top down to the bushings as if it was the nib section.:redface:
So, now what do I do? I'd hate to throw the blank away as it's looking really nice. Can I modify the pen? Maybe make the long blank the top or perhaps make it into some other pen.
Yeah I know, next time I'll make my own bushing and be sure not to reverse the blanks.
