Now that the turning is completed, there are a few steps left in the assembly process.
- Put a fitting in the keyring opening, place in a clamp, square it in position and tighten the clamp; inserting the fitting into the keyring will take pressure, and once inserted, it cannot be removed (figure A and figure B).
Satin and gold fittings are inserted in the pens using the same process. If the clamp requires too much pressure to insert the fittings, fit them using a drill press.For the pens, insert the tube that holds the ink cartridge into the wood cartridge until just the brass portion of the tube is inside the wood casing (figure C).Test the fit with an ink cartridge, making sure it extends and retracts correctly. Adjust if needed (figure D and figure E).
