Hi, I'm still new to the world of lathes, wood, and pens, so this is a great place to learn. I bought a brand new sealant gun and made one of these clamps, because I have another I chose to screw it all together, it works brilliantly !! I think my hole for the nib is too big as it sticks a bit so I need to drill a smaller one, learning all the time !!

Terry, the hole in my drill press bought from Turners Retreat a while ago went the same way, if pressed to hard it also got stuck, i had to remove it and turn it back on the lathe to bring it back to size. I think this was down to wear and tear thou .. :whistling:

Love it, I might just try making one instead of using the vice all the time.
