Digital Pen Watch and Date

Hi Woody,
Yes I did try Turners retreat. They're only selling off what they acquired from Craft Supplies. They have no further information or diagrams etc.
Thanks Silver, keep digging. I'd be most grateful.
Don't forget to post the picture when you have completed the pen....

Not had time to look for anything more.. Looking again at the drawing I posted it is one for an led light pen. Checked my pen kits and they are the same. I know I have seen the digital pens that my dad made so I know we should have a copy of the drawings.
Should being the word., but looking at your kit and the drawing I posted it should give you a good idea of how they go together as I'm sure they were made the same way but the only thing I remember is having to cut out a small window on the top end of the pen so the clock could be seen..

Picture is attached!!!!
Thanks Silver, I think I've cracked the assembly but need to get hold of a LR41 battery, which don't appear to be on the shelves. Can get some from Amazon but that'll take a bit of time. Think I've worked out where the hole goes and have just cut a slot out in the brass tube which should act as a guide once the tube is encased in wood (fingers crossed!). Next problem I'm working on is the bushings. Just working out the sizes then need to sweet-talk my brother in to turning me some off, again fingers crossed!

Sorry for bringing an old thread back to life 
I ordered 2 of these from Turners Retreat, the digital segment was not working so I changed the batteries and only one is working - emailed TR and waiting to hear back.
Would you be so kind as to share the instruction/pictures of the setup?
As, after reading this thread, they don't have the instructions

Hi Gill.
It turned out as my instructions were different than what kardave had.
Minebwas a 3 tube design as his was a 2 tube design.
Im sure that he may be able to help with some guidance.

I have 3 tubes, 2 blanks and one with the digital display in it, that apparently must connect with the top for the buttons....
I have worked out how the bottom nib area connects but the 2nd tube and the digital part have got me scratching my head
EDIT: Thank you for the quick answer, much appreciated
Ok. Wheb I get back this eve I will dig them out and send them through via pm..
Only just got back in, long day.
Can do Peter, I think if I remember rightly mine was a digital light pen but give a good idea of how the digital clock pen was built.
Tried to up-load the drawing to downloads but it wouldn't let me do it
I have sent a PM Gill, with drawing attached, not sure if it will help but anything is better than nothing.

Maybe Jim needs to do it.
