Dan Masshardt recently posted a helpful Youtube video of constructing a Long Boy pen kit from Berea (also called a Script from Woodcraft).

I posted some comments about my experiences with this kit in Dan's thread.
Dan said he would like to see a pic, so here is a pic of 5 of these pens I made.
You will notice that I made them as single barrel pens (tube length = 4.00"), by replacing the two brass tubes with a single tube. . I really like this modification. . Drilling the long hole is the only slight complication but I have done the drilling on my lathe by careful centering and going in from both ends. I turn the whole blank round, leaving it oversize, then drill and glue in the tube, and finally reduce the diameter to the required size.
