I have a question about the woodcraft click pen. I bought a half dozen six months ago and made one for the wife and the others for some friends. They wanted a click type pen. They worked pretty well and haven't had any problems with them. My wife went to the bank and pulled out her pen. Well long story short there were about 12 people who wanted a pen like she had. So I ordered actually 14 in case I messed one up. I have turned 11 of them and my problem is that some of the pieces when you put them into the barrels instead of having to press them in I can real easily push them in by hand. Some are the nibs, some are the center band with the threads and some are the tops. Only two of them did I have to press all the pieces in. I don't turn a lot of pens but this is frustrating. I had it happen on a couple of Sierras but used a dab of epoxy and they were fine. I did put a dab of epoxy on the different parts and pressed into place but that seems like a awful lot trouble. Is this common with pen kits or did I just get a bad batch? Thanks.
