HI,

I made a swivel knife on a mini lathe I bought a long time ago. It need a better finish  but  I am happy with how it turned out and works. I have some aluminum lying around I want to try this on, any suggestions?

Would love to see it but the format isn't a familiar one do you have pics in .jpg

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

That is a nice job is it adjustable in length? I like the full ring seems it would provide better control.

I'm constantly impressed by the various talents here on the forum.  Very nice job on that!  Is the one pictured made from steel?

 yeah its steel, its pretty heavy which pushed me to try aluminum, Also the aluminum will cut a lot smoother.

Not a bad looking knife, the ring works well for people with hand issues, don't have to worry as much about dropping it,

what did you use for a bearing under the saddle?

What kind of blade is in it?
