Nice video, Chad. Well done.

Very well done, Chad!!

When I have done cigars, the two small bushings are NOT equal size. The smaller of the two is the nib, the other is the cap top. I noticed when you finished pushing in the nib, you looked a little perplexed----I'm guessing you got these two bushings reversed.

Of course, I COULD be COMPLETELY wrong about "reading your reaction"!!!

You are correct in my experience too. The two bushings are not the same. They are pretty close so I mark the nib one so I can find it quickly.

Thank you for making these videos Chad. They are a great service and really help newer pen makers along.

I'll have to check but I want to say I measured mine and they were the same but that was a couple years ago now so my memory is probably not right. Its good to have all this input for anyone just starting out.
By the way I remember what I was looking at it was the chrome reflection made it look a little different.
Thanks guys.
