Very nice tool, way better than the cheap ones you usually find in your toolbox. You've shown that making something nice is easy as long as you spend the time making high caliber plans.

Plans are the key 😂

Beautiful! I've made a few myself but I thread the pointed end & insert a stainless bolt & craxy glue it in before I machine the point. This gives the point some strength in case it gets accidentally dropped onto a hard surface. The brass alone will dull quickly. Keep a big pencil sharpener handy..........
