Gezzer

More women's stuff . I tried this back in July and the test girl says that one is holding up quite well ( metal barrette and contact is still holding tight ) . I wasn't sure if the contact would hold under tension and compression but I am starting to think it might .Just another off the wall idea of mine

Looks good ! Be sure and post a pic when you get them done please . I just can't help myself ............................................... glad neither ones first name was Green

Well it looks like I missed completely Glad you got it taken apart and I would have to put new rawhide on the head while it's down .

I started with a $20,00 knife and after a year and a half thought I needed an up-grade ( about $70.00 knife ) . Only difference is the cradle free wheels a little better .........

Thanks ! I was wondering if you had used 3 layers , the cam thing is a great idea . Again ..... NICE WORK !!

Back playing some more , 3D letters this time .

Fine looking blades as always ! How does the welt work if you don't mind me asking ?

Now that is thinking outside the box !!!! Very cool and stylish idea .

Looks good .

I blew up the drawings and it looks like the handle end has a shoulder down in there that's attached to the end cap you can see . The nut I think is on a collet part of the main sleeve . Good luck with restoring it .

@DwightT and @Wepster good ideas all around !! If the friction fit loosens over time a simple wrap of masking tape on the candle tin would work . I think it will take a small boat load of candles before it is a problem but I may be wrong .

Hey ......... what's that nylon sheath doing on a leatherworkers belt ? Looks good Chuck !!

That is how I got the " speckled " effect on this , but I had to cut out a negative to cover for over spray . I wasn't too picky about nozzle size and just used one from the house and held it a couple of feet away .

Take this with a pound of salt ......... but looking at patent #662,691 , I would think loosening the nut and placing a rod that just goes in the hole on the handle end and tapping that rod would start it apart . Again I do NOT KNOW , might need someone with a little machinist knowledge to look at the drawings . https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/08/d5/50/ad30f9cac6db57/US662691.pdf

If I tried to carve that ...................... I'd be so jacked-up I couldn't sleep for days Nicely done !!!!!!!!!!!

No firsthand experience ......... but a quick search brought this up . You ma have already seen it .

If I had a clicker press , I think this might be one to get a die for . I would have never made a carpenter if it were not for Geometry class !!!!!!!!

Well I didn't either

They might at that . Might need leather already cut to speed it up just a little or at the very least patterns if you are talking about the guy doing the 4 hour classes .

@Wepster Thank you ! and I agree the taller one does look better . Go for it , the friction fit isn't that hard and if you do miss the block is a fine idea . As for google not knowing about " ringing " I am not surprised LOL ! It's just something we have always done ( don't even know where I got it ) , it's just a deep depression right around the wick . On a flat top candle they seem to melt all across the top , the depression lets what melts stay more in the center which seems to make a little more flame . Here is a picture of what we do to new candles .

Thanks ! The base did not change , only change was in height .

Wow ! That is nicely done .

@fredk Thank you Sir ! @SUP I agree .Changed from 1 3/4 height to 2 1/2 and it is more pleasing . @MarshalWill You are exactly correct , when I increased my border width that portion turned into a cylinder and as you say, does help the look . @Klara Thank you very much !!!!!! don't know how long they will be a tight fit but I really think it will be quite a long time, I am sure one could make some sort of ledge inside ( silicone or hot glue or something ) when they are made to insure no problems . Let me know how yours turn out please .

O K I had to try another size just to see how they might look in a bunch . Had to wet the top as it was just a little too tight and it spread my top stitch in the back. I won't bore ya'll with any more as you get the idea . Thanks for all the kind words everybody !!!!!!

That looks very good !!! What is it lined with ?
