• Live Tailstock or Mandrel Saver
• 2 part Epoxy or Thick CA (Cyanoacrylate) Glue
• Pen Blank Minimum Size: 3/4” x 3/4” x 3-1/16”L
Preparing the Blank:
• Cut blank to the length of the tube, adding 1/16” for squaring off.
• Drill 10mm hole lengthwise through the blank.
• Spread glue over tube, insert the tube into the blank with a twisting mo-
tion to spread the glue evenly inside.
• Center the tube lengthwise inside the blank.
• When the glue is dry, square the ends of the blanks, making sure the trimmed ends are 90ºto the tube. Use a
10mm Barrel Trimmer or a pen blank squaring jig with 10mm sleeve on a disc sander. Take the excess material
down flush to the ends of the tubes. Do not trim past the end of the tube since this may interfere with assembly or
the operation of the Reservoir Pump. Use a barrel trimmer to clean the inside of the tube.
DIAGRAM B / TURNING THE BLANK
• Mount the bushings and blanks according to diagram B.
• When using Mandrel Saver, there is no need for extra spacer bushings or the
knurled nut. Slide and lock tailstock directly against bushings and tighten quill
until blank and bushings are secure.
• To use Knurled Nut Setup (right), add spacer bushings until past the threads on
the end of the Mandrel Shaft.
• Thread on the Knurled Nut and hand tighten to hold all components in place.
• Slide the Tailstock up snugly against the Mandrel shaft, inserting the live center
point into the Mandrel dimple.
• Lock Tailstock and hand tighten the quill adjustment with wheel to steady the
mandrel. Do not over-tighten, it could damage mandrel shaft.
• Using sharp tools, turn the blank down close to the bushing diameter. Turn the
barrel straight or to a profile of your choice.
• Sand the blank down to be flush with the bushings, gradually increasing
sandpaper grits.
• Finish the barrel using your choice of polish. Allow sufficient time for the polish
to cure—refer to polish manufacturer’s instructions.

• First know that either the Cartridge or the Reservoir Pump can be used as an ink source. The Cartridge comes pre-
filled, and the Reservoir Pump can be filled and refilled with commercial Fountain Pen Ink.
• To use the Cartridge, unscrew the full Tip Assembly from the pen body. Opposite the tip, you will see the back of
the ink feed. Push the Cartridge tip against this post (Diagram E). The ball seal will pop and the ink will flow into the
feed. Allow the ink to reach the tip and begin using.
• To use the Reservoir Pump, you will need a bottle of Fountain Pen Ink, which is available online and from stationery
stores. Twist the back stem of the Pump counter-clockwise to extend the plunger towards the tip opening and insert
the tip of the Pump into the ink (Diagram F). Twist the back stem clockwise to retract the plunger and draw ink into
the reservoir (Diagram G). Wipe excess ink from the tip and insert into the back of the Tip Assembly the same as
you would with the Cartridge.
