    Default Needle Holder Key Rings

    Anyone made these, it's basically a metal tube about 10mm diameter with fittings on the end.
    I'm thinking you turn it on a mandrel like a pen, can you get bushes for the pen mandrel or should I should just make a mandrel using a drilll chuck and a bolt.

    Cheers

    Make your own bushes from small pieces of Jarrah.
    Drill a hole the same size as your mandrel then turn down to the ID of the brass tube.

    Carbatec and Timbecon have a selection of bushes for the mandrels, might be one to fit the key ring tube.

    Model shops have brass tube the same ID as the mandrels with assorted OD, could use that to make your own bushes.
