Hello,
I have just started turning the Jr. Gentleman's kit, and finished the second one last night. I turn the wood right down to the busings, sand 100 thru 1500 grit, ..... My problem is that when I put the pen together, everything fits perfect except the smooth end piece. The wood is about 1mm larger than the smooth end cap. It has happened on both pens, and I'm starting to think the bushings from craft supply are not the right size on that end. Does anyone else have this problem? Have you found a solution? If you have a solution for this, please post it here, so I don't ruin any more of these really nice kits.
Do you think this pen is to large to carry in your pocket on a daily basis? It seems pretty big to me, especially when compared to the Baron or Sedona kits.
Thanks for your help, as always,
Dan Heine
