where do the centre bands come from? Probably covered on another thread, but I've been away.
Nice pens :up:
so they're not on brass tubes but on the mandrel directly?
No Worry s Robert I drilled them 7mm it works best if you have the long tubes so that it goes right through the centre band as well but these have no tube in Centre band as I didn't have any long tubes so I just stuck them on to the centre of the top half of the pen with no bush in the centre so that they could be made as fat as possible I hope this helps happy turning and dont be afraid to ask questions that is what we are here for to help when we canI see. But with no brass tube?
So do you drill them with the same 7mm diameter as the rest of the blank, or drill using the diameter of the mandrel?
(apologies if the questions seem banal)
Bog floor dad?
