Slow day at work today, so I decided I needed a lanyard bead for my Champ

[Jailbird]

I had a very slow day at work today, so I figured I'd spin my first lanyard bead on the lathe. I couldn't find any small enough scraps of titanium so I chose a nice piece of 316 stainless to match all the stainless tools. Everything was machined freehand and then buffed on a wheel. Let me know what you guys think.

That looks really nice. And the second picture with the light shining on the sak is excellent.

[Monrogue]

[Styerman]

Can I have it ?

[Jailbird]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I might have some more time later today, so I'll probably make more.

Colt, I can't give away the first one I made, but I can always make another for you.

I make these lanyards, loop it around your belt so your Sak hangs in the front pocket. Want to do a trade ?

[Essexman]

Very nice work indeed. It just needs a slot machined for some tritium 

[Jailbird]

Colt, those lanyards you make are a great idea! A trade sounds like a deal. I'm going to make a few more this weekend and experiment with some other tooling I dug up today. I'll post some pics and you can choose which one you want.

Essexman, trits are certainly in the plans for the near future. I need to place an order for trit vials and get some fixtures made for the mill.

I like. A lot.

Deal !! It will go perfect on my Swiss champ.

Made you two, just switch the clip to the other.

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing what you make.

Here are a few more I made today. Colt, let me know of which one you want.

You could also ask Felinevet, but I didn't see them listed in his EDCsource store.
