I made this years ago after seeing your video. I use it all the time, and I continue to appreciate your contribution to my shop.

[@sithus1966]

I used hex bar stock, then they are more like a pencil and don't roll away.

[@ConradsStudio]

Did a variation on this (same Clickspring style) for a crowquill pen nib holder. I love the weight. Though version 2.0 gets a little hex knob threaded on the back end because, boy does it roll! 😂

[@codprawn]

I still haven't got around to making one of these - I did build your lovely fire piston - my first ever project. I did a great job thanks to your video and it works a treat!

[@ashleydawson5070]

Got myself a Myford ML10 and this was an excellent first project.

[@mrsmith8436]

My daily fix. Thanks much click spring!

[@EleanorPeterson]

That's so elegant. If you're anything like me, the NEXT project (which I never quite get round to starting) is to make myself a slightly better lathe.
Like a grumpy old donkey my Myford refuses to die, makes the occasional braying noise and threatens to bite me every time I go near it.😁

[@johndilsaver8409]

I use mine all the time, thanks for posting this.

[@kaminmiller]

This was one of my first projects after getting a Sherline lathe, and I still use it with the same tip as when I first made it some 6 years ago. I also used this as a template to make a couple of ink pens that use the Pilot G2 inkwells, and I also keep those in the shop or with my notebooks. The scriber is indeed a great first lathe project. I need to eventually get around to making some wooden ones as gifts.

Great looking darts

[@EleanorPeterson]

"Best of order, please! Game on. Jocky Wilson to... throw first." 🙂

[@DreadX10]

Beautiful as ever. Useful too(l)!

[@jsd1982]

1:22 was a sigh of relief.

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@bejay69]

Darts!!

[@JoeldaSilvaVicenteFilho]

very nice!!! :3

[@SergeiPetrov]

But why a needle and not a sharpened TIG electrode?

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

A TIG electrode would work but this is a FIRST lathe project.
Sewing needles will be readily available in a beginner's shop, cheap (if not lying around the house already in sizes your partner will never use) and easily replaceable when worn/broken.

[@DanieleGiorgino]

Remember Make magazine?

[@michaelplus-trojan_dc8687]

I thought this felt familiair. Remember Kipkay?

[@RedHillian]

I think that's where I first saw Clickspring's work!

[@glenntrewitt]

A round broach?

[@leemarsh3569]

Hi, what did you use for the scriber points?

[@TheMadJoker87]

a needle i guess is the simplest choice

[@jessejackson4690]

A tig tungsten is a good choice

[@Panicagq2]

Upholstery needles work great.
