    Default Flat Top Americana instructions?

    Hey All,

    I'm trying to assemble my first Dayacom Flat Top Amerciana fountain pen. I'm not sure if I lost the instructions or never got any, so I'm winging it. There doesn't seem to be any way to join the cap band to the tube. Not sure what I'm missing. Tried to google the instructions but can;t find them under that name.

    Anyone got any tips?

    Thanks. Russell.

    well after doing some more searching, I see CSUSA has an "apprentice amercana" which seems similar.

    Please don't tell me I have to cut a tenon for the CB?

    Russell pretty sure you need to turn a tenon on this one , the centre band should have a thread inside it to screw the 2 parts together .I can check dimensions for you as to how long the tenon needs needs to be if thats the case ,should have 2 threaded joiners that push into the nib section , cheers John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    Here is another set of instructions from Woodcraft in the USA. Hope these are helpful.
