Disassembly of non-7mm or 10mm pens

[BigguyZ]

OK, so I'm really getting going on making these pens. Now that I've gotten the hang of doing a CA finish, I'm thinking there's a few pens I should disassemble and refinish. I have the 10mm kit for the cigar pens, but what kit do you use for the Classic American, Atlas, and Cushion grip pens? Is it the 7mm kit?

Thanks!

I don't know myself Daniel posted a pen kit / bushing cross reference spread sheet over at www.penturners.org

That's good. Aside from being reticent to getting involved in yet another online forum, I tend to post here because I have yet to see a negative reply. But it looks like that's really the place to go for pen turning information, so I'll check it out.

I thought i was so smart the other night when I discovered the Harbor Freight transfer punch set for disassembly of a Cigar pen that I had assembled wrong ( The instructions are horrible and I hadn't put one together in about 2 years) -- I switched the upper chrome tube and with the sleeve that goes into the bottom barrel.

The Transfer punches saved the day...

I use the HF transfer punch set too! Fits most any size.
