This is a silly little tool I've been meaning to make for ages but finally got around to. Got the idea from George Daniels - it's a tiny spatula for crushing/mixing polishing powder with oil, against a glass sheet. The blade is a piece of old steel mainspring, and the brass collar was turned from an old carburetor screw. It works pretty nice!

Very cool tylernt.

I made a couple just like those for a small boring bar I bought and an internal threading tool I made. Never thought to get pics and post them, though.

Funny you should mention that kyfho, as I also just made an internal threading tool from O-1 as detailed here:

only I didn't mill the top off, just ground it off.

Impressed! It was so nicely documented.
