I have noticed that and you have been missed, good to see you here!

It’s 5mm brass rod (needs knurling still) and a 1mm grade 5 titanium blade fixed with an m2 set screw (needs shortening). It‘ll get a spinning ebony endcap. I‘ve got titanium rod in various thickness to make the different blades and many different kinds of hard wood from knifemaking for all sorts of colors

I‘m really interested how well the titanium will hold up... a fun side project while waiting for the lume to dry

You may find that titanium is too brittle, but I am not familiar with titanium. I have heard that it is very durable.

I suggest that you try on screws outside a movement to test the strength.

They are third execution and at 2mm wide are providing a stumbling block to finishing
I’m even considering having some made but can’t find anyone who specialises
Might anyone be able to help?
