I just received an order from Berea Hardwoods with 5 of the Streamline American Rollerball kits.
I can definitely recommend to anyone purchasing a new pen kit to research the instructions thoroughly. This pen looks great in the pictures, but for some reason I just don't understand the instructions. It gives two options on how to execute the cap section (or what I can only assume would be the cap section) , but the instructions are not clear at all. It mentions trimming the blank from 1 7/8" to the end down to the brass tube for the center band. I attempted to do this, but the only side that was long enough to get 1 7/8" was the main tube.
I finished both tubes and went to press the pen together and now I know for sure I messed something up. It looks completely messed up. I got as far as pressing the center band onto the part of the tube where the tenon was created (as instructed) and it definitely is wrong.
HELP!
Pictures can be added for further understanding.
