How many of you turn your barrels one at a time instead of putting both on the mandrel? I've replaced the mandrel but still I often get unacceptable wobble (slight, but enough to bother me) in the bushings between the barrels. No, the nut is not too tight, either.
On my most recent statesman (see SOYP) I wanted a PERFECT fit with no chance for disappointment, so I turned the barrels one at a time (shorter span = less vibration) and it went great. I think I may do all my pens that way now.
Do you seasoned turners do single or double mounts? Thanks.
