Members TTcustom Posted July 5, 2010 Members Report Posted July 5, 2010 I split apart the handle of my osborne stitching awl, it was overtightened. Since I can't throw anything away and I had my horn caps to stitch I remade it using a small antique door knob for the haft. The Osborne collet insert fit in perfectly with a little drilling and locked in positively with a 8-32 stainless socket head screw. So I guess I am green, not cheap!

Now if I can only figure out the mystery of the horn wrap. Me and the Stohlman's aren't seeing eye to eye. I can't believe that this horn is any different from anything they had seen.
