>A drill press can be used to assemble pens. Chuck a piece of dowel with a sanded end. In my estimation, good only for ocassional use, since I keep my jig for drilling the pens in the drill press while I am making pens.
Bench vise with non-marring cover on the jaws.
I read that bottle cappers (the ones that put a cap on the old soda bottles) can be easily adapted to a pen press.
Before I bought a surplus (no longer available) punch press, I made the contraption depicted below. It was made from a yard sale drill stand. The white parts are UHMW to protect the pen parts.
