New forming tool

Here are some pictures of a neat forming tool I had run off at the machine shop next door from work.


Basically it's a rolling pin for forming section of a soft block, with a precision ground pointy end for rolling conic sections and a blunt end for forming bulgey things.It's 1/4 in diameter, 8 inches long (6.35 X 200mm) 303 Stainless Steel. The stainless wont mark the paper, and the transitions from round to point are soft, so it won't leave creases.

I'm thinking of having a short run of these made, so if anyone is interested, drop me a PM.
