OK, over the weekend I turned 3 pens plus I had one all ready to be assembled. So last night I'm assembling these 4 pens (padauk,blk walnut, maple, and and unknown wood). 2 of the 4 pens cracked while inserting the twist mechanisim. These were all slimlines. I had visually checked the inside of the tube before starting the assembly process and did not see anything.
I had turned the pens and finished with BLO & CA. This was really frustrating because the tubes did not crack until after the twist mechanisim was seated. I actually felt one crack and did not notice the other until this morning.
What can I do to help reduce the chances of more pens cracking on me?
