Berea Pen Assembly instructions

[charliekap]

Just got back into pen turning and was rummaging through some boxes that I had stored away. I found a box from Berea that had 5 fountain pen and 5 roller ball kits. My guess is that these kits are at least 10 years old. There was a piece of paper in the box that indicated that these were Round Top European Style - Screw Cap Roller Ball / Fountain Pen kits. There are 11 parts in the fountain pen kit. I just purchased a Round Top European Style - Fountain Pen kit from Berea and they are not the same as what I have (fewer parts). The instructions on the Berea site do not match the kits I have and I cannot find any other (older) instructions on the site. Does anyone save the older pen kit instructions?

You might check with Berea and see if they have any in their files.

Post a picture of the parts you have.

I have instructions going back to 1995, in my shop.

When I started turning 2 years ago I dusted off a box that was 20 years old! It had a starter kit from HUT with 20 slimline pencils and pens. It was to turn pens on my drill press. I still have a pen that I did that way (for the life of me I can't remember how I did it. I suspect I sanded the blank the whole way down?). The pen is an absolute piece of s..t, but it is fun to pull out and see how much better I can do now - even being only slightly proficient!

Enjoy and welcome back to the obsession!
