I purchased 24 Titanium gold Elegant American kits and 24 BOW blanks. I'm having problems with the twist mechanism. It's seems too tight. I've put about six of them together and only one has a smooth operation. I know the inside of the tubes are clean; I hone them out and the parts press together easily, almost by hand, had to add a drop of CA to seat a couple. I did a search on this kit, which came up with centerband issues, but really nothing about trouble I'm having.
Any insights on this kit?
I don't think I'll buy any more of these, which is a shame because I really like the look. I was going to use it as a medium pen style for a man or woman.
What would you suggest as an alternative?
Can the dozen or so of the beautiful Bethlehem Olive Wood blanks which I have turned and finished be converted to work in another kit?
