Last of the WingNuts
OK, I have a couple dozen WingNuts left and then that is the end of the batch. These have a lovely smooth gunmetal looking patina on them, the result of sanding and bead blasting followed by many hours of tumbling.
Peter, Well done in regards to the finish on this last batch. Truly unique compared to the other finishes,keep it up! The edges really shine in contrast to the body of the tool.
Also,I want to mention that you nailed your stamp so deep and clean on mine.. PING! good stuff!

love it!
i figure if i skip this one , all the atwoodies will be broke when the ghost comes out!
Fortunately, I have one of these in my pocket right now. So, more for everyone else. Awaiting to be haunted by a Ghost!
oh so tempting . . . but already have one in the family from 09 . . . will pass and hopefully have some *luck* when the GHOST materializes . . .
Good luck everyone, I'll pass, I can only use metric tools

I just love living in the same small state as Peter... I got my WingNut today! This piece is wicked cool!
Thanks!
