If you are still a little unsure about getting into pen
and project kit making, why not come on one of
our one day courses here at Axminster.
This is a one day course for anyone who wants to
learn the art of pen making and producing objet
d’art from project kits. If you are thinking of buying a small
lathe or have a lathe, this is the course for you. Gaining a real insight into what
can be achieved, after one day you will be able to leave with the completed,
professionally finished masterpieces and a multitude of ideas and skills.

Take the Pencil mechanism
(e)
, remove the magazine cap/push button from the
end, remove the eraser and gently shake out the lead.
This is quite fragile and
should be carefully kept aside until all ‘work’ has been completed.
Carefully
insert the Pencil Mechanism
(e)
from the lower end of the pencil. When it impinges
on the lower body; press the mechanism firmly into the lower body
(See Fig 8).
b
Note, it may not be possible to press the mechanism into the lower body from
end to end, as the length of the mechanism itself may hold it off.
A small
packing piece with a hole to accept the upper end of the mechanism or a small tube
to fit over the tip of the mechanism to enable the body to be pushed ‘home’. It is
suggested that the tip of the pencil is not rested against a ‘hard’ surface as the
re-action for the ’push’. This is liable to damage the tip and the lead will not feed
through.
Carefully feed a lead into the magazine, replace the eraser and the cap/button.
Holding the pencil upright with the tip 2 or 3mm from a surface, press the button
repeatedly until the lead appears at the tip. If there is too much lead extended,
holding the button depressed will allow the lead to be pushed back into the pencil.
The lead will lock as soon as the button is released.

Congratulations, one ‘Click Pencil’ complete.
