That looks great Fingers. What did you use to cut it apart? Is that door knob or a drawer pull knob? 25mm seems small for a door knob.

I'm very impressed, really. I can't get over how you guys on the forum are forever designing, modifying and creating custom platforms, swivels etc to improve your setups. I don't have a clue.
I just had to look up what 'drill and tap' means!! :o
Will it fit the Everlast base?

Haha Alan! Leave it to the sharp mind, the ingenuity, the lightning speed reflexes, and the overall intelligence of a likeminded fellow speedbagger (Haha) to have that kind of creativity to come up with that. Great job Fingers!
