Another Havana ballpoint from the kits I found awhile back. I have two more kits but the tubes are missing. These kits have not been available for several years now. I'll take two sets if anyone happens to have any. The wood is mesquite burl.
Do a good turn daily!

Don,

Here are the original instructions BP & RB, I save everything, hope this will give you some info.

The Rollerball version Looks like a Robusto from Woodcraft or El Presidente from Arizona Silhouette.

Tube lengths, I'll keep searching.

Here is the scoop on El Presidente RB:

Cap:
Drill diameter 14mm or 35/64; tube diam 0.539; tube length 1.97; bush 0.621/0.667 (0.510 to fit in tube)

Body:
Drill diameter 31/64; tube diam 0.472; tube length 2.33; bush 0.609/0.550 (0.447 to fit in tube)

Hope this helps. . For the FTN, the tubes are shorter ... all else the same ... can send you lengths if you want.

Wayne, Don measured the tube lengths at 2.08" for both tubes for the Havana BP. Not sure about the RB/FP.

Don,

Yes, please, I don't have that reference for the charts.

Havana Rollerball: large tube length is 1.97 and the smaller is 2.37. I do not have the Havana FP but i would bet the tubes are the same as the RB. The Robust and El President are the same kits from Berea Hardwoods. Woodcraft just changed the name to Robusto. Tubes are the same as the Havana.

The little Havana's larger tube has a length of 1.97 and the smaller tube has length of 1.37. These tubes are the same as the El Toro from Berea.

Don,
I realize this is kind of late to the party, but I have several sets of the Havana BP tubes. BTW do you know what finish is on the kits? I know one is Gold, probably 10kt, the other is silver, but I don't know if it's Chrome or Rhodium.

Thax,
Grant Barlow
