I finally got a pic of my set up to turn slim line pens with one set of TBC Bushings. This is my own way and it may not be the best way, but it works for me. I have turned many slim line pens this way. The short mandrel rod is cut to 3 and 5/16 inches long, it is cut to this length for this particular set of bushings. The center bushing is a standard slimline short bushing. The other photo shows both blanks ready to put on the lathe and turn. As you can see the way I mark my blanks is so that when I am preparing several blanks at one time, I can always match the lower(nib end) blank with the upper(clip end) blank.
