Update on preliminary try to make Spengler style banjo bolts. This only took a few minutes using a dremel grinding wheel, I took a quick break at work but will do more later. Overall I think it looks pretty good and I’m happy with where this is going. Pics show before and after grinding a modern bolt.
Update- back at it after work. Not perfect, but here is is attached back into the banjo, I ground the edges on both bolt heads and am happy with how they look. This is such a tiny detail that really nobody, NOBODY would notice unless they’re looking for it (also my flashbulb wires are not blue and green).
