I was looking at the write up for how to do this pen and was liking how it came out. I'm not crazy about really slim pens, so I always end up making my slimlines kind of bowed in the middle so they are bigger. But I thought this would be neat to try. I have two questions that I'm hoping someone would be able to answer. My first question is whether or not there's an alternate bushing you can use in the center, in place of thej small bushing for the ameroclassic bushing, one that fits on a 7 mm mandrel without having to adapt it by putting the 7 mm spacer underneath the ameroclassic bushing?
My next questions is help understanding conceptually how this works. I'm having trouble seeing how you can take out the center band, still turn the upper and lower tubes to the same length, since it doesn't say anything about modifying the tube lengths from the standard kit, but still have the internal parts work and come out fitting in the right place, instead og maybe being too short or long?
My final question (OK, I lied, I had 3) is how people have found that it looks at that center part where the upper and lower meet? I assume that the point of burning the lines in is that that sort of gives it the look of a center band, but I'm just wondering how thoe two different diameter tubes then meet up and look together?
Thanks very much!
