Big Thumb tools

Post by Halberds »

Large thumb tip tools

After starting on Talbot’s Milanese Gauntlets I found these tools to be useful.
These are built on the 1" solid steel square shanks.
The original tools worked for my thumb, however a larger size was needed.

1-3/16" Ø ball stake
1-1/2" Ø half bowl
1-5/16" Ø pipe stake
1" ■ Stake holder

I also have this new lollypop stake that was useful in forming the Milanese knuckle embossments.
It also will fit in the small box.

I also build orders; takes a week or so.
No payment due until your tools are finished and ready to ship.
If you are not happy with my tools… send them back for a refund.
If my client ain’t happy I ain’t happy.

PM me for your tool needs.

Hal

Thanks Iron D.

No takers on this so far, perhaps lollipop is not a good name for tool.
The Canadians might of bought it... if I had called it a hocky puck. :wink:
This will be a one off as I will not be making any more giant gaunts.

I found a new use for the lollipop.
It worked great as a rivet anvil for the gaunt thumbs.
Where the flat rivet head is inside the leather hinge and you peen from the outside.

I will try it on the other rivets tomorrow.

Another pic of the tools and the gaunt they built.
The lollipop worked for all the other rivets also.

I am still working on the cuff flair tool.
It will be extra.
