I purchased a couple of metal bands from Richard Greenwald but I am not sure how to add to the pen. Should I make a tenon and glue the ring into blank prior to turning to size? This would seem to work better with aluminum/brass or copper, something that could be turned down at the same time. The ring is plated and it might be difficult to turn down to the ring and finish without damaging the finish. My other thought was to thread the tenon to fit the ring then turn down the pen to size and finish then, un-screw and add the ring and glue everything into place. If I do this should I add a "filler"' in place of the ring until it is in place? Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
