Jordan, I can't tell from the picture does the flat steel handle twist right or left to get it off. I am making dimensional drawings of the button assembly, and dont want to break anything of this original!

My first project is to make shutter button handles and shafts and if I can find the brass stock try making the blocks. I am also going to try making a bunch of Brittish screws and bolts!

I just bought a South Bend 9" x 36" lathe and an Atlas shaper and most of the tooling I need. I should be up and running this weekend. It has been a while since I have had access to a lathe. (Grade nine shop class and later when I worked at Queens University department of metullurgy)

If any one is looking for simple/resonable machine work to be done let me know
those nuts would be nothing to turn down and face properly. I also have a small Unimat lathe for really small parts. So let me know if you are stuck and we will see what I can do for you!
