Yes that should work. The male thread is on the handle.

I just wanted to get far from computers in leather work. 

My goal for when I retire....  but crikeys, with the way the market is going, looks like I'm going to die at my desk...

I’m not sure if you can carry out any vocation or avocation without some computer interaction. I needed a rocker  switch for my drill press. I put a toggle on it but I use it a lot and wanted to fix it right. I went to 5 electrical supplies, including a very large one in a city. Also called Grainger and 2 other supplies. Most would not even look, even with a part number. Looked at Amazon and got it in my mailbox in 3 days. And we are urged to shop local, support small business. But sorry, not a political thread.

My son-in-law designed mine using Inkscape, a free vector graphics package. You have to be somewhat of a computer jockey to use it; I'm not.

My kids sent it to a guy they found on Etsy, who turned it into a brass stamp. It works as a branding iron on the end of a heater, or as a stamp on wet veg tanned leather.

To stamp it, I use a vise and a couple blocks of wood. One of these days when the budget allows, I'll buy a press.
