Very similar to the one I made except the front is more rounded and you made the nut fancier, which was my original plan but got lazy. If I were to make another one I would make it more rounded like you did. The screw is identical to mine right down to the same 7/16-20 thread. Great minds think alike.

Ed,

I don't know if it's great minds or form following function. The thread pitch drives the number of graduations on the thimble and 50 sounds so...even.

I do like the locking handle and especially the hammertone paint on yours. All it needs is an antenna.
