My first Minstrel pen kit. I got the centre band in the wrong location and I can not seat the piece that sits on top of the cap fully obviously I am doing something wrong. But what ever I would certainly do another one.

They may be a few issues, but you have turned a nice pen. Order another and try again. Nice work.

Regards

Craig

Yes, order another one:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

But in the meantime, I'll PM you tomorrow (it's late now) and tell you how you can sort out that one. There's nothing wrong there that can't be put right. Or give me a call if you prefer - I'll be very happy to talk through how to correct the errors, and in fact it might be easier to talk it through rather than trying to type it all out in a PM.

I managed to seat the bit on the top of the cap a bit deeper. The pen is for me so I will leave it as it is. I will buy another one and have another go.:thumbs:
