I have been accumulating pen disassembly info for the past year or so. I think I have enough info in it to have Tom post in the library. But the question I have is, is there anyone that would have a problem with me posting this info? I have noted whom and when I got the info from as best I could. I would ask each person individually but a lot of them are no longer posting here. In light of some comments on the IAP book thread, I just want to cover my bases and ask here. This is strictly for the library and will not be used anywhere else. If you do not want your comments in the article please send me a pm and if I have any from you, I will remove them. Thanks!:smile:

I think a disassembly PDF article is a great idea. I believe that if people posted the info in the forum, that they want you to use it, especially if you are giving them the credit for the information. It is important to be able to disassemble a pen, because everyone makes mistakes, especially the people over to the west :wink::smile:. Even a kit that you didn't pay big money for should be salvaged into something new. And then there's the other cool things you can do by dismantling a kit...like removing the rings of a jr gent kit as one example, can make a pen take on a compeletly different personality.
 
I'd love to see it!

I was just looking at a long click that needs to be re-wrapped due to cracking. (grrr... She dropped it and won't admit it. Sigh. I do love my wife but...) No obvious method came to mind when I briefly looked at it.
 
Crap I hadn't thought to add disassembling individual parts to this list. I was just including finished pens. I think I will do some more searching and add that info as well. I included at least two tutorials already in the library. This is not a complete list either since I have still not found a good method to disassemble a slimline pencil and save both the parts and the barrels. I wonder if it something that I can update as I go along as well. Maybe I can figure out how to get it on Wiki too!

I agree with Jeff, it's a public forum, and it's here in my mind to help teach others.... If someone wants to compile the information and make it available in a concise document for everyone, even better!
 
Not positive on the legalistic of this but since you are re-posting public information, in the same public forum and not claiming it as your own work or making a profit, I doubt there would be an issue.

just my two cents.

Hi Rob, great idea and for the legal part:

Rob,

I think that's a terrific idea. Not that I ever need to disassemble a pen but I have a friend that does:wink::rolleyes:. Very worth while project and thank you for taking the time to put this together:beer:.

Have a virtual cold one on me:biggrin:.

What's the diff

Personally I don't see much difference between what you are proposing to do and linking someone to a post with the information.

For what it's worth, about 25 years ago I presented a paper, co-authored by me and my immediate superior, at a conference. A trade magazine decided to publish the paper as an article...they did not have to ask our permission, they could edit the paper and they did not need to seek the permission of our employer.

Out of courtesy they sent us a copy of how they intended to edit the paper and asked us to provide biographical information about ourselves along with a picture, but they made it very clear that they were not seeking our permission. Management at our company asked them not to include certain things thought to be a tad sensitive and were politely refused.
