Default Question for pen turners

Bushings to me are a wear item. So I cut right up to them, ever so

have a brass tupe tennon sticking out. I then us a wide scraper to span
the 1/8th inch gap and size up the wood that way.

Perhaps some scotch tape can tighten up a fit.

I scribe off where the tube is to be exposed and cut straight across
from the bushing to there, then taper the body to that point before
removing the tenon material.

Just another way to get to the same end.
