Preparing the Blank:
• Cut blank to the 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 motion 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 90º to the tube. Use a
10mm barrel trimmer, or a pen blank squaring jig with a 10mm sleeve on a disc sander. Take the excess material
down fl ush to the ends of the tubes. Do not trim past the end of the tube since this may interfere with the operation of
the mechanism and assembly. Use a barrel trimmer to clean the inside of the tube.
