  • Modifying and X-Acto blade holder, It's a quick simple build to keep using my favorite old tool. I use a 3/8" copper tube and make a steam punk X-acto blade holder.

    I now want to disassemble perfectly good craft knives and wood turn better handles for them! Thank you for the inspiration

    Love this! I can relate to the attachment. I have the same knife that has been in my art life for 37 years. It may sound dumb to others, but it’s been with me in some really great times.

    Cool. Another option would be to reinforce the blown-out end of the original handle with a metal ring. That way, it's still 100% the same tool. There's an old joke about the farmer who claimed to have Abraham Lincoln's original axe, though he admitted that over the years he had replaced the head once and the handle twice.

    Bonus for the Corrosion shirt! And also thanks for laying this out. I've been using a traditional blade holder where the screw's down by the blade and I wanted to buy one of the old Gripster-style that I used all through school... that's when I came across your video here. It's cool! And nice shirt.

    Great job. I had the same x-acto with the same problem. I used brass tube and by aesthetic I removed the hexagonal nut. It feels very good in my hand. Greetings.

  • @GalaxyStranger01
    @GalaxyStranger01 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've never seen an x-acto handle like this before. I understand it's the Gripster?
    Does this handle suffer from coming unscrewed or the blade being able to tilt backward like other handles? Up until now, I've just been Blue Loctiting my x-acto handle so it doesn't come un-screwed on its own.

    • @EricStrebel
      @EricStrebel  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      GalaxyStranger01 The end screws tight, but the original plastic tube had started to fail, you cans it in the beginning of the video. Thanks for your comment

      Infact copper is killing germs and provides a near antiseptic surface - no bacteria to generate "stink" (why it is widely used as doorhandle material in German hospitals)
