Very nice job on the knurler. I made two a while back from a design in one of Guy Lautard's books. There is a photo here (down the page a bit):

It works pretty well on mild steel and even better on aluminum and brass. The knurled handle seems to provide enough leverage to get a decent knurl although in steel it takes a good grip to get enough "squeeze" to form the knurl. I may rebuild the knob to something more similar to yours.

I like the design of yours better however. Just seems more substantial and maybe a bit easier to build.

Do you think the Hemingway Knurling tool kit can be made using only a mini lathe with a milling attachment? I'm a self-trained novice with decent mechanical knowledge and experience.

Hi xildevil,

When I saw the first picture of your work (on the carpet) I thought it was a CAD rendering it looked so good!! Good work and keep it up.
