Hey again,
First of all thank you all for putting up with the many questions and all of your suggestions and help. Here's my latest issue...
So I like the Classic American, or Flat Top Pens but I am having a hell of a time with them after they are assebled. They are normally to tight to twist or they dont twist at all and the pen cartridge just sticks out.
The last one I turned last night was perfect and turned out beautiful and then I tried turning it and nothing. I measured the exposed brass tube on the cap end and it was exact 1/8" as directed by the instructions. I was even congratulating myself for such acuracy. Everything fit perfect, but then when I placed the cap end on the body it wouldnt grab the Pen Mechanism and would just spin freely. :at-wits-end:
So here i find myself once again asking for you veteran Pen Turners to help out the rookie.
Thanks Again in Advance!
