I'm trying to make a Classic American click pen. Missed a step, but heading back to it. Was supposed to 'trim' wood off the tube. Okay, here's my problem.... They say to measure 1 3/4" on the top that's closest to the tail stock. "Then part off the approximately 1/4" of wood between the mark you made and the bushing" Sounds fine and dandy, but thats NOT approx 1/4", it's closer to 1/2". Have I gotten the wrong tube in this kit?
Thanks! This is only my second pen and I'm lost http://www.penturners.org/forum/images/icon_smile_blackeye.gif
I guess basically what I need to know, is that section of exposed tube length critical? Or can it be a tad longer than they're approximating?
