The part has been needing replaced for awhile. I can still use it but it throws spacing tolerances to shit, makes stuff of by a couple of thousandths...not good enough.

Oh, so you knew about it? And waited for me to order something? Then broke it?

OK, serious progress! The two standoffs have been turned to my liking and are almost done (some fine tuning and polishing still to come). I have a plan for the copper lanyard tube and will be turning that when the sun comes up.

This is looking like good stuff. Copper would be a nice contrast to the titanium.
Might want a set for my techno; if it's okay with the digger of willies and you'd be up for making more. Need a while to recover from the vacation expenses though.

I'm cool with it. You have to be chong's friend though. I had to give him stuff I'd rather not talk about, but surprisingly it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I'll give them another polish with a red rouge cloth and loctite all the screws (or not, it's up to you,Willy).
It was a true pleasure to make these standoffs. The center one is the lanyard tube. By boring it out a single strand of 550 paracord will fit and maintain the same overall dimensions of the front and rear standoff. The parts were turned from Tellurium Copper (c145 alloy). I polished each one at a different time (a couple hours apart) last night so you can see the natural patina developing.
I would not do another set of these without having the knife on hand. There are ways that they have to fit that are very particular and very time consuming.
