Got a new Woodcraft catalog this past week and saw the Ultra Cigar pens in it and wanted to give them a try. I really like the classy look of that pen. Drove 1 1/2 hours to the Woodcraft store and bought three kits and bushing set. Downloaded the instructions when I got home and picked out a Amboyna burl blank that I had been saving for just the right pen. Drilled and mounted the blanks, turned slowly to make sure everything was just right. Finished the pen with 4 coats of CA. Went to assemble the pen and discovered that one of the bushings was not even close to what is needed and therefore have ruined my kit and blank and have a useless set of bushings. I figure between the cost of kit, bushings and blank....I'm out about $25.00.
Now I know........ that you cannot count on the bushings being correct but this was not even close. I will contact them to see if they will at least replace that tube and bushings.
