I went through my blanks and found a nice piece of Lati and cut the drilled it for a Euro pen. I sanded the tubes and glued them in so I was all set, no I wasn't and it was to late to correct my mistake. I glued in two short tubes rather the one long and one short. The long tube was still on my work area I'm not sure were the other short tube came from. Oh well I have extra tubes. I next took a maple blank, Cut, drilled and made sure I had one long and one short tube. I was all set. I glued up one tube but got side tracked and had to come back to glue in the second tube. A funny thing happened when I tried to glue in the long tube it went passed the end of the tube:frown::frown:. The had glued the short tube in the long blank. Oh well these things happen.......but why do they happen to me. I've closed up the shop for today maybe I try again tomorrow.
