My primary turning interests is segmented bowls, vases, etc. Now, wife & daughter have drug me into turning the little stylus' that people use on smart phones & tablets. They got me a mandrel & a some kits to get started. Seems these are popular little gadgets and a good way to use the little scrap left over from the bowls.
Building from the kits is kind of pricey, usually $5+ per kit. I am able to find the 7mm tube, easily enough, and the rubber stylus tips are readily available. But finding the little cap, with the eyelet in it for a key ring or loop has been a complete failure. Seems like you have to buy a whole kit to get one of these. The picture shows what I'm looking for. The loop with the audio jack plug isn't important. It is the cap with the eyelet that I need.
Any vendors out there that will sell just these caps?
Thanks for any hints.
