I have read many posts where people have had small gaps when pressing the parts together because the blank was not sanded exactly 90 degrees to the tube. I drilled my blanks on the lathe and sanded the ends on the lathe as well with sandpaper attached to a mandrel and the blank on a drill bit in the tailstock chuck. The material is acrylic. I have turned the blanks and there are no gaps between the blanks and any of the bushings. Can I assume that the pen will be gap free when I press it together?
I have to deliever on Saturday for a birthday gift so it has to be perfect or I guess I will go to plan B and buy a different gift.
Thanks for any advise.
