Repurpose/Repair with brass casings

[Gunfitters]

I’ve had an old Tandy awl that I’ve never used as an awl,  but it works great as a boning tool for wet molding holsters. Removed the awl blade and epoxied/screwed in a cut down piece of .45 Long Colt brass. Works great, even the rim of the casing adds detail.

This edger lost its brass ferrule and the blade was loose. Used a piece of cut down .45 ACP brass and epoxied it in as a replacement. It’s solid now.

Neat idea - and looks cool!

If you don't like the rims, you can turn them down also, they are pretty thick at the base.

Brassy and classy

Gotta love a practical repurposing. Well done.

Mighty fine idea. Chuck, those you turned down look outstanding.

 

Good thinking, thanks for the tip(s).

Should have known that you would have already done it Chuck!
