My inlay went together with difficulty. Took a lot of pressure to properly seat the components.

Be sure to flood the design with CA and always "turn down" with sandpaper only. I tried to start a little with tools, the rose caught and blew out into unfindable pieces. I will try it again, but this time, no tools.

When assembling, the red rose portion broke into several pieces that had to invidiually be inserted into the form. Once completed, turned and finished, the end product looked great!

I've put together about 20 inlay pens from different places. After they are initially laser cut, the pieces will tend to twist and warp. You will need to take your time putting them together. Sometimes you will need to use sandpaper, sometimes a little force, sometimes even breaking a piece. I usually save a little dust when sanding in case I need to fix something that chips. Always sand the piece smooth before putting a tool to it. If not, don't be surprised if a piece chips out and gets sucked into your dust collector.

Was the first time making a pen. The parts were a little hard to place, was concerned that they would break easily, not the case. Turned out great for a first time project. Used Wall Street II pen kit.

This kit, like most of these kits, exhibits poor fit and easy breakage. I found the only way to get the stem in was to break it at the bottom. Fortunately, the break does not show. The leaves are very difficult to install without breaking them into multiple pieces.With enough patience and a deft touch this can be completed and turned into a wonderful pen.
