swimbo and i are going on the annual 14 days of skiing i the dolomites... she has had an operation in the wrist and was worrying about being able to tighten her boots. so into the thinktank and i came up with this.
This is a to be brutally used tool hence not a lot of finish. size is around 9-10 cm long. steel is from an old eurotruss pin cut sanded and polished with steel wool.
i made the tool by drilling on the lathe and when i had the debth used a pice of scrap to stop the drill from going deeper and thus created a simple friction drive... nice and easy i thought.... but my crap lathe (goddampiceofchineescrap) dosent line up. the tailstock never sets in the same place twice side to side and up and down... so again slightly oval. damit...
have begun the piggybank to get me something better have eyes on danish made promat... but the price the price...
Comments are more than welcome.
Oh wood is more mahogony
