Cleaning the Inside of Tubes

[Fireengines]

As you all know, there is all kinds of crud that falls inside your pen tubes prior to assembly. I've tried just about everything to clean them out until I found this simple solution.

I use a .45 caliber gun cleaning patch and run it through the tube a few times. Simple, it works, and it is cheap.

..also, just a chamber brush on a drill motor works really well!

I use a pipe cleaner folded in half and it does a fairly decent job as far as getting the sawdust out of the tubes and I do it in the blank before I put the tubes inside too. Fay
