Hi! -- I've made about 10 pens so far and am still learning. Here is a pen I made yesterday. It is a modified slimline with the center band glued to the top barrel. The problem I'm having is that the top barrel does not have a snug fit onto the transmission. So when I rotate the transmission to the closed (pen retracted) position I can easily continue rotating the barrel which causes the grain to get mis-aligned. Is there any easy way to snug-up the fit between the top wood barrel and the transmission? FWIW, the brass tube in the top barrel does extend through the center band. Thanks!
