Thread: Manchurian Silver tip knots now what?

Well, you can tell by their dialect. Manchurians talk funny Chinese.

Hey pixel,,, They would look good in a socket maybe, 1/2 drive or 3/4 ? The bottom of an old light bulb. Hmmm you could just take up wittling ! Might take awhile but you could make anything with a chunk of good wood and a knife.

Gotta do what ya gotta do.
1/2 in drive works

Is the screw on the bottom for adjusting the loft?

leadbelly what about just gluing the knots into the mouth of a stuffed squirrel?

You could use some 32mm electrical conduit, it comes in grey or orange, or even comms which is white.

So here was my process...
found a piece of firewood, chopped it into a square, shaped it with a saw, drilled the hole and let it spin on the drill while holding sand paper of different grits until I didnt have anymore patience. found some oil oil I used on my deck, and some marine contact glue set the knot...not square, not a circle...definitely not fancy but it turned out OK looking.. Will give it a try tomorrow.

I love it! wonderful grain and color.
