Preparing the Blank:
· Cut blank to the length of the tube, adding 1/16″ for squaring off. · Drill an 8mm hole lengthwise through the blank. · CA is not recommended for this project due to temperature sensitivity. Epoxy is preferred.
Mix and spread glue over tube. Insert the tube into the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly. A stronger bond can be achieved by spreading a thin film of epoxy inside the hole before inserting tube. · Center the tube lengthwise inside the blank. · When the glue is dry, square the ends of the blanks, making sure the trimmed ends are 90º to the tube. Use an 8mm Barrel Trimmer or a pen blank squaring jig with 8mm sleeve on a disc sander. Take the excess material down flush to the ends of the tubes. Do not trim past the end of the tube since this may interfere with assembly and the operation of the mechanism. Use a barrel trimmer to clean the inside of the tube.

· Using sharp tools, turn the blank. Turn the barrel straight or to a profile of your choice. A wide diameter is recommended to insulate against heat. Because the side face of the elbow is narrow, we recommend a profile that is larger for most of the
length with a rounded end to match the bushings.
· Sand the blank down to be flush with the bushings, gradually increasing sandpaper grits.
· Finish the barrel using your choice of polish. Allow sufficient time for the polish to cure–refer to polish instructions.
