That plumb bob looks really nice schor. I would store it in a display case than in a toolbox. Too pretty to use. :) Thanks for the helpful video.
I made this for a friend and I am pretty sure it will be hanging in his shop and never actually used for its purpose.

I have to say, the EDC part of my mind saw that as a defensive tool disguised as a plumb bob. Very nice indeed!
Thanks
I know it looks like something else, I did this totally without any pplans, just some materials I had, it just ended up looking like it did.
I would say an offensive tool sometimes also, it slipped in my hand and my other had went to grab it and it stuck 1/2" into my palm, it only slipped maybe 2". The stainless tip is as sharp as a pin and it weights around 6lb.
