So I have been on a break from pen turning but thought I'd turn one this weekend. I had a X-cut spalted maple blank glued up and ready to go so I turned it and and finished it and it was looking good. So tonight I went to assemble it and I left the trim rings out from the couplers on the lower barrel. No biggie, just disassemble and put them back in, right?
Wrong! This happened to be one of those blanks that the tube got stuck half way in so I cut it off and glued it in from the other side. Well cross cut and broken tubes Do Not make for a pen that can be disassembled. It broke right in half about the second hit with the persuader. Now I need a few couplers, anybody selling spares? [B)]
I guess I can stay on my pen break for awhile longer.
