Assembly
I didn't get one of those nice little pen presses so I used my drill press to assemble the pens and pencils. It's a little tedious lining things up properly but definitely works well. The odd pieces of card stock you see in the photos are to protect the metal pen parts from damage. I started by pressing the tip into the bottom blank, then the pen retractor and assembled the insert. Finally, I pressed the cap into the top blank.
