I can see where it would be easy to make your own slim line bushings, but I was thinking of something for bushings for larger pens like the cigar.
Has anyone turned a "sacrificial" shim to go between the bushing and the blank?It would slide over the "sleeve" part of the bushing that inserts into the tube.
Approximate thickness would be about1/8th thick,maybe thinner.
Material would be"plastic "breadboard" so the CA wouldn't stick.
The Dia of the "shim" would be the size of teh bushings dia.
The shim would be "sacrificial" for final shaping ,sanding thus "saving" the bushings.
I will play with this today as I have come to realize I have worn my cigar bushings but need to make some of those pens fast but it will take a couple of days for the bushings to get here.
I don't want to waste my time if it doesn't work,don't want to reinvent the wheel if it does.
Any insight appreciated.
