I've been given a tip by a poster on the International Association of Pen Turners forum about cleaning out the burrs on the centre band before assembling the pen as this is what has scratched the nib assembly - luckily I've only done it to one!

Hi Stewart,
Congratulations on an excellent pen, shown off with good quality photos.
I intend to have a go at making pens when I can find someone to show me how, and if they turn out anything like this I will be well chuffed.
I'm also new to this photography lark, so am lapping up the advice given in this thread.

Keep 'em coming!
