Ah shoot. You didn't need to mention me in this, Denis. I didn't even come up with that idea on my own. I just saw a guy on the Townsends channel use one that he'd made and I said "What a brilliant low cost idea"
Question I don't see a recommended steel. I'm going with 01 unless you sujuest different. Because I built several before getting it good enough to function only fairly well BIG THANKS so glad you are back.
its always the measuring for small stuff that I have trouble with..I can make the thing if I can measure and mark it accurately...the combination of brain fog and wobbly fingers does not do good things for measuring lol
Pricking irons are usually in the range of about 3mm between points to about 4.5mm at the largest. While slightly larger or smaller may be available 1.59mm would be very unlikely.
@singlended Fair enough and I appreciate you taking the trouble to supply the metric information. Nonetheless I don't think the pricking irons in the video looked as small as one and a half mm to me. The spacing is also too ragged for this to be useful and the points as shown at the end are nowhere near sharp enough to be used.
