This will be a Crown Royal letter opener to go with Jim’s pen, The barrel wood will go where the white is on the tube.

Nice piece of engineering there Jim, your customer will be very well pleased I bet

What an absolute beauty. Well made!

That’s an excellent gauge Jim. Stainless steel, top of the line. I used a old lamp tube. Nice shape too.

Your combination of metal working and wood working skills sure results in some useful and attractive projects Jim! I’m not surprised you get orders for your work.

That’s a super marker Jim. Where did you get the cutting blade and how did you attach it to the SS rod?
Where did you get the knurled screw and how long is it?

Nicely done Jim. A handy tool for sure.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I had just enough material to finish this one..Plus had to use a respirator for the whole process on the rosewood.

Hi Michael..I see another swap taking place!!!!!!!!! thanks,Jim

Hi James I bought the cutter at Woodcraft- the last one they had. They are made by Wood River and I drilled and tapped the end of the shaft with a 6-32 tap and used a stainless flat head screw to hold it on. The knurled screw is 2 pieces. I turned and knurled the head and then tapped it and put in a brass 10-24 screw with Locktite to secure the head on.The Southbend lathe was used a lot for this piece.

cheers, Jim

That’s the surprise I said I had for you, I do a lot of matching sets like that. I would have sent it with the pen but I didn’t think of it until afterwards

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.
