With less than 12 hours to go to meet my 2023 resolution to finally nail down and document all my bushings, I've a mystery.
I bought out someone's inventory who has gotten out of penturning completely and in the pile, I've a set that I can't find a match for in the bushings pdf.
Details:
It came in a bag labeled "pill"
There were 3 bushings in the bag, all each single sided.
1 bushing is 0.650 outer / 0.525 inner
2 bushings are 0.795 outer / 0.610 inner
The top bushing marries close to the stats for the "Key Ring - Deluxe Pill Holder - Artisan" (0.646 0.535 0.646) so that top one might be 1/2 of a set.
( Of course I could be wrong. I haven't found any other broken sets so far )
The pair'd bushing are really puzzling though, with no real solid hits for 0.79*, 0.80*, or 0.81* nor any hits with 0.60*, 0.61*, 0.62* for inner diameter
Assuming that there are brass tubes involved, 0.610 + guess at tube width might indicate a 5/8th to 11/16th drill bit needed.
The turner did not limit himself to purely pens as there are bushings for an atomizer, mini-grinder, razor, flashlight etc in the pile.
It'll likely be for an item that has been around for 10+ years.
Any ideas?
