I cannot edit the post that originally had the pics in it, so here's a facimile:

<<The darned EzAwl needles are longer than I remembered, so I had to modify on the fly. One consequence was that I used the scrap of cut-off handle as material to make a hollowed, knurled cap. Not much room for me to slip a lanyard in the cap now, but it's possible.

Added info: Tossed these on the balance. The blade collet and collet sleeve are not altered - "factory weight". Cap and body are machined from original handle.

Cap - Aluminum, 24 grains (1.6 grams)
Body - Aluminum, 112 grains (7.3 grams)
collet - Aluminum, 41 grains (2.7 grams)
sleeve - Steel, 87 grains (5.6 grams)
saw blade - steel, 63 grains (4.1 grams)
guard - Aluminum, 14 grains (0.9 grams)

Total - 341 grains or 0.78 ounces Av. (22.1 grams)

As I said, fairly lightweight. I imagine that two blades and the needles will bring total weight to about one ounce (28.3 grams) or a little less - I will post final weight later. TGA

Here are a few pics for now - these should give the general idea of where it's heading>>
