Pen with Yellowheart

[Chuck C]

Woodcraft Amercian style Pen kit with Yellowheart. The pencil had an unrecoverable assembly oops, I forgot to put the ring on it and can't unpress that part to get it off, oops

Just thought I would edit this one and add the one with the opps. You can see the lower ring missing.

Nice looking pen Chuck, sorry about the oops! []

Nice pen Chuck!!!

 

[Gregory Huey]

Nice looking pen and we all have a oops box I mean a spare parts box.

 

[Gary]

Very nicely done!

My spare parts box keeps growing too. []

I can't see where it hurt the pen any to be short a piece. Good work!

Nice looking pen, which ring did you not put in on the pencil?

 

[jdavis]

Very nice work. You shoul see the oops box of my students work. It seems to grow daily.

I like it. I know the feeling on pencil ooopses. Very unforgiving.

 

[Chuck C]

I edited the above and added the pencil so you can see the oops, it just looses the matched set thingy.

Chuck,
They both sure look pretty! Sorry to hear about the oops, but that's how it goes (unfortunately).

Ihave put a number of those pencils together and you can take the bottom setion apart in install the rings.
Use a 1/4 " rod and insert it through the trim ring in the center.
Istead of going straight down,andgle it until you reach the inside of the black piece.
Make sure you take off any rings on the hand that you are holding the blank with.
A rubber grip will help hold the blank.
Whack on the rod and after a cople of hits revolve it a1/4 turn or so so that you are not always hittting the same area.
The thing that puzzles me is without the trim rings in there the pencil mechanism should be too long to work.
Anyway, it is saveable.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. Thanks eagle, I'll try that. Of course because I left the ring out its pressed in another 1/16 " LOL. The pencil still works but its a turn feed and not a click feed so maybe thats the reason. They were my first try with that type of pen.

Looks real good to me - fine job! I would'nt worry about the ring.
