I recently received two Virtuoso kits from Woodturningz. I turned and polished a body for the satin chrome kit. I pressed the finial into the body, and then realized the transmission was missing from the pen mechanism. So I checked the satin gunmetal kit, and the transmission was there. I was going to use that transmission with the satin chrome kit, but apparently it's not removable. I disassembled the chrome pen, and pressed the gunmetal finial/clip into the body. But as I was pushing the two parts of the pen together, it stopped. No matter how hard I pushed, it wouldn't go in any farther. Now I can't pull it apart, either.
I thought maybe I had trimmed the body too much, I have done that before. But I compared the tube from the other kit with the body, and it's good. Has anybody made one of these pens? If so, did you have any problems? Any ideas how I can pull this pen apart? I tried prying it gently with a screwdriver, but even that didn't do it. I have emailed Woodturningz, but thought I'd see if any of you had any ideas.
