Step 3Drilling, filing, hammering.
I had a wood-bit almost as wide as the end of the pen.
I drilled a pilot hole first, then used the large bit to drill a hole for the pen to wedge into.
The hole turned out to be ever-so-slightly too small.
To make the pen fit, I used a round file to enlarge the hole slightly. Do not be tempted to hammer the pen into the hole - you will snap off the end of the pen.
Instead, grip the pen firmly with a pair of large pliers, and then hammer the pliers beside the pen.
Make sure that the V-shaped notch ends up at the bottom of the pen.
