I was thinking about trying a pen kit without the tubes. I know I have seen some that used metal blanks, but was wondering if a very dense wood, like mallee or Amboyna would have the right characteristics to press fit pen parts such as couplers directly into them. (assuming I drill the correct downsized hole) With that being said, do you use a drill bit of the size recommended by the kit, minus double the thickness of the brass tube, or do you go smaller to allow for expansion?
Just one more of my stupid questions.
