At least I get the scraps

[David Mueller]

Found some scrap on the wood chips and ended up with this. It's 2 1/2 in long out of mystery wood picked out of a cutoff bin. I think I paid $2.00 for 2x2x48" Thanks for looking.

Nice idea David. I can't remember how many times I've wanted to do a simple countersink in a tight spot. Pretty cool!:)

[Keith Burns]

Hey! Ernie said, "Functional", and the contest hasn't even started yet. Foul!

Nice piece David. Where did you get the countersink? And did it come prepped for mounting?

[David Mueller]

Andy, I've had it for years. It is made to be used with a drill. It just had a 1/4" by 1" shaft. I just drilled a hole before turning and epoxied it in. I think I got it at HD or somewhere like that. I like tools like this where they basically fit in a closed fist. The marking knifes I use are like this, basically no longer then my finger so when I use it it feels like an extension of my hand, just like a turning tool under your forearm.

Glad you all liked it.

What a neat idea David. I don't know how many times I just needed to clean out a hole and didn't want to get the drill out. Awesome. Nice work. It is amazing what you can do with scrapes sometimes.

Great idea, David,

I'm always looking for a way to hold the countersink and end up using my drill chuck for the tailstock - one of these will much handier! Thanks fo rsharing such a good idea with us.
