These came out awesome That is stainless all thread picked up at the local hardware store with brass nuts. depending on the finished size you want 1/8" 3/16 whatever size you want to use to get the right size finished product you want. Mine are made from 1/8". Chuck them up in a drill press and file /sand em down to whatever size you need.

I'm sure I can come up.with something. Was the spoon hard to n shape? I'm going for a pointed spoon and petal lifter Quote

I used files and sandpaper while I spun the work in a drill, makes it real easy to keep the work round that way. On the spoon I used files and my Dremel tool wasn't hard at all. For the handles I just made some leather washers with my punch set then tightened down the brass nuts, filed them round, sanded and then coated them with some super sheen 3 hours ago, DaveP said: They look great!

Members Stetson912 Posted June 3, 2020 Members Report Posted June 3, 2020 Sounds like a plan. I wanted to make some matters too out of some bolts. So, that's another idea I have. Just thinking of textures for that. I like your handle too, came out great Quote
