Cut blanks slightly longer than brass tubes to allow for elongation, maintaining grain orientation.
Drill blanks with a 7mm drill bit at a speed of 900 to 1200 RPM.
Polish brass tubes with 220 grit sandpaper to remove oxidation and roughen for better adhesion.
Prepare to glue using medium CA glue or two-part fast drying epoxy.
Apply glue to the outside of one brass tube with a liberal amount around the inserted end.
Insert brass tube with twisting motion until equidistant, wipe excess glue, and allow to dry.
Trim ends using a barrel trimmer, disk, or belt sander until brass ends are visible and perpendicular.
Assemble blanks on mandrel with bushings on either side, keeping grain orientation aligned.
Tighten tailstock and mandrel nut, but do not over-tighten to prevent mandrel flex.
Turn blanks to desired shape, ensuring surfaces next to bushings match bushing diameter.
Sand surfaces in progressive steps from 220 to 1000 grit, or use micromesh for higher finish.
Apply the chosen finish and polish the turned blanks.
Remove blanks from the mandrel, maintaining blank orientation and grain patterns.
Slide clip onto the stepped end of the cap, only a short distance, do not force.
Press cap assembly into the upper tube, ensuring pattern or grain match.
Press the center coupler into the open end of the upper tube.
Press tip coupler into the lower tube, ensuring larger diameter end fits correctly.
Connect lower tube to center coupler, avoiding excessive force to prevent buckling.
Insert pencil mechanism into cap end until it stops, then thread tip onto mechanism.
Slide cover over eraser on pencil mechanism to protect eraser and finish the pen.
Press cover to advance lead; remove cover and pull eraser to load new lead (0.7mm).
