A one piece cigar

Several days ago I made a long one-piece cigar pen. Thee 4 3/8" stock was drill out with a 10mm and on one end a seirra drill 27/64? was drilled.

I am have a hard time putting together the pen as the clip end of the pen slides /doesnot fix the 27/64 tube.

Did I miss something about the assembly of the pen. ?

thanks

Cigar tubes are the same size and require 10mm bit.

The large tube end is the nib end, not the clip end. That is, the Sierra tube is at the nib end of the pen.

Tom:
While you are right that the tubes are the same size, Bill is making a one piece cigar pen. For these, you use both cigar tubes plus a Sierra tube. For the Sierra tube, you drill at 27/64 from the nib end of the blank.

I replied to your other thread, too. The clip does not fit into the Sierra tube. The Sierra tube is the nib end of the pen.
