Thread: Ever Ready

So I picked this old ever ready up with a thining badger knot and went to town on it.Never having one in my hand I was surprised at how small the diameter of the knot was.After cutting the hair off flush with the handle I centered it up in my mill and bored a 1 inch diameter hole .I wanted my knot a bit deeper so I went past the original knot base.I was left with a completely hollow handle.I set a piece of cork in the handle with hot glue for filler,then used epoxy putty to create a new bottom base for the knot.Let it set up and epoxyed my knew 24mm synthetic knot and when it was set gave it a bit of polishing.Can't wait to give it a go !
