I think Neil has covered most of things that are just plain wrong. Another thing I think is bad practice is pressing directly on the end of the threads when assembling. Better to use a suitable sized bushing so you are pressing on the shoulders.

I don't know if it is who we think it is Neil, but I agree he should either research good practice or stick to what he knows. I hope he is not teaching people to make pens like this.
