Preparing the Blank:
• Cut 2 blanks to the length of the tubes and add 1/16" for squaring off.
• Drill 3/8" holes lengthwise through the blanks.
• Spread glue over the tubes, insert the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside.
• Center the tubes lengthwise inside the blanks.
• When the glue is dry, square the ends of the blanks. Use a 3/8" barrel trimmer, or a universal pen blank squaring jig
with a power disc sander. Take the excess material down flush with the ends of the brass tube. (do not trim beyond
the length of the tube since this may interfere with operation of the mechanism and assembly). Use a barrel trimmer
to clean the inside of the tube.
