Nice one Jon will these take a twist pencil conversion? we get asked about twist pencils, this might be ideal

Hi Jon, Great video and such an easy way to determine the different bushes. I've never been a fan of big pens but may well try one or two of these. Take care Jon. Cheers, Huw
@prokraftuk16 күн бұрын
Hi Huw, I did 2 of these flush with the bushings on the front section and they're not too big, quite comfy to hold, the rear section is a bit bigger and adds a bit of weight, gives them a good solid feel.

I have made 20 slimline pens and 10 cigar pens, and I thought I would like to make some click pens. The package arrived 10 click pen kits and I came to You Tube to find out how to put them together. Two people have said they don't make click pens they are too much trouble. Thankyou for your instructions I will play this video a few times to get it right. This is a great hobby I am having a ball making these beautiful pen. Thanks for your help. Have a great day.

Very nice that you used the lathe for everything. Now why don't you make some alignment pieces that the pen parts fit into that keep them in line while assembling? I think that would help.

Actually, once the drill has started drilling, 1 inch maybe, then you are able to push the drill in by hand.

Had you already inserted the tube into your blank before turning as it didn't appear to be shown in the video, sorry if its a basic question but being new to turning I need step by step instructions. great product by the way

Yes the tube is inside the blank - on our website there are detailed guides for all our pen & pencil kits - these should be follwed as they are updated - the video is really to give a better idea of what the kit is like and the basic principle.

Hi Gavin, yes you can but they won't last long against a turning tool so metal bushings are best. You can of course measure manually - vernier calipers and a bit of confidence are required! Jon
