I did a mod similar to this awhile back. Another customer wanted something like the other one.
I wish I had more of this bone, the jigging is great. New NS bolsters, of course, with some threading on them for an extra touch.

Outstanding work Glenn!
Did you make new liners or did you use the steel liners?
Great treatment on the bolsters too!
Did you solder them in place?
That is nice bone. I have some similar but in a different shade. I haven't used any yet because it was not what I had in mind for the project for which I ordered it. That gives me some ideas for using it though.
You have been busy!
I am starting to feel slow, but I will be posting a 16 piece set of kitchen cutlery in a week or so that has occupied most of my time for the last couple months.

Glenn I've never carried a Barlow but one like that could persuade me to do so. Excellent work.

Thanks guys!
Dale, I did reuse the original liners, and soldered the bolsters to it.
It's not that I've been that busy, it's just that I am winding up a bunch of projects at the same time. I am looking forward to seeing the kitchen cutlery job!
