Yeserday, I decided to give a Gentlemen kit a try for the first time. I found that when I tried to insert the cap tubes into the blanks, the fit was so tight that they would not go in without a lot of brute force. The tube actually started peeling wood in the barrel, so I suspect that my glue got rubbed off on insertion.
Is 37/64 really the right size? I am tempted to go up a 1/64th to 19/32.
I inserted the tubes within 30 minutes of drilling so the wood had very little time to move on me.
