Thanks for adding that Ed, was starting to think I had stuffed mine up last time when I didn't get top & bottom bands. Personally I like the finished product. Would be interesting to see a solid green/gold. If you wanted to remove the colour bleed, maybe you could make your middle slice thinner and add a thin piece of coloured paper (same colour as middle slice) before the black styrene. A lot of stuffing around for it though.
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

I too did not mean to hijack ED'S post. I merely wanted to show following his instructions and jigs that I learned alot. Ed did a great job posting these jigs and instructions. I love the final product and now will have to add acrylic knots to my ever growing list of things to do. Thanks for showing. Put that on a gold Sierra and that pen is gold.
PS---- the secret to the color swap is make two pens at the same time. swap the end pieces every cut. I swapped 4 times in those pens.

It was suggested that this become a tutorial...as I have absolutly no idea how to do that...PDF, PDR, PDQ whatever you call that stuff, any one who wants to give it a go has my good graces to try...you can note in the tutorial that it is quite OK with me to copy, modify and use the jigs, thats what this forum is all about.

Ed, the end result is stunning and perfectly accurate and I look forward to seeing it on a pen
Can I ask a daft question? I can't understand why you didn't just lower the saw blade a bit so that it doesn't cut all the way through the blank?

Because it is easier this way.
I can rip the original pen blank stock to 3/4" square, and I rip the insert material at the same time.
Then both the insert and the blank match up no matter what.
If I did the partial cut, each insert would have to be shorter or less in length and each one would have to be cut one at a time as I go.
Plus the glue up is easier...with a partial cut you have to apply a lot of glue inside the cut to make sure you have a gool bond and fill.
With the thorugh cut, you can coat each side evenly and get less squeeze out, which means less clean up.
And I am lazy, its just easier, for me, to do it this way.
