next time ill try to post a picture with my question. If I can figure out how. thanks for all the help[

Ow we are geting some where.
If you bought the Kit at Wood Craft there will be a tock or model numder on the bag.
If you post that nuber it is possible to view the instructions on their site.
WC uses the name American Classic for a pen that is a copy of a Parker style,
Classic Amewrican is naother name used by another supplier for an entirely different pen.
With WC"s number there will be no doubt what you are referring to.
Got the or of names mixed up.
is this the pen you are attempting?
If it is there is no tenon it is parted of to the tube.
The center band comes as previously explained.A large ring with a gold and black ring goes on to the turned of brass section.
If you scraped the brass too much it will not stay on with out a little "ingenuity".use a brass taper punch to expand the tube to fit the decorative band after you have put it on.
That was the first 10 or 20 pens I ever made about a year ago and they are a PITA.
