When I first had a pen kit I refused to buy either a mandrel or a set of bushings - it is possible but it takes a lot of time (I still have my very first attempt and it is awful - but writes) so I think you need to decide what to invest in, time or money. As has often been said time is money so there is your dilemma.

Make a bottle stopper instead - you can do that whatever size you please and have an excuse for the consumption of alcohol.
