Other gift for my wife for Christmas. She asked for a latch hook kit. When I went shopping, the latch hook tools are extra. (Really, they can't throw in a $2.00 tool for a $25 latch hook kit?) I bought two tools thinking I'd modify one. If things went south, I'd have a store bought one already.
I had looked all over sites that sell turning kits, and found nothing. This one would truly be a figure it out type of kit. The cheap wooden handle from the store bought kit came apart relatively easy with a knife which was in turn used as a template. Selecting an appropriate blank, I got started.
Since I had already did the coffee scoop (just posted this one), the concept was similar. The metal part simply screws into the blank after making a small pilot hole. My wife loved the latch hook, finished the kit and said the hand turned one felt much better than the store bought one. It was a winner.
Does this count as a kitless project?
C&C welcome.
