CAS.------ Can't remember Squat !!!
I got in a new batch of kits and this was one of them , a European pen . As I always do , I measured the kit parts because I thought that it would be the same as a Mont Blanc (which I have a bushing set for) but the centre band was a little bit larger , so I stuck that fact in my memory banks .
Unfortunately , I didn't GO TO THE BANK before I started to turn the pen and turned the centre part of the upper barrel undersize. OOOOPPPPPPSSSS [:I]
So I decided to see what I could do to save the pen instead of scrapping it .
I made another centre band from African Blackwood and drilled a hole in the centre of it to fit the lower barrel , glued it to the upper barrel and turned everything together .
TA-DA --- I saved it !!!!
The rest of the pen is Hondurian Rosewood .
