Joe, yeah, I'm working on how to make one that looks "period" maybe brass with some intricacy thrown in. Or okay, paint it black. I will be making a copy of the Midget one to go on the Little Worker, as it doesn't have one. The other thing I noticed that's frustrating, is that almost all the fasteners that New Home used for things is a very non-std 6-28 thread, and I have yet to locate a tap or die for that size. I thought about taking the "junker" Little Worker and putting in helicoils for 6-32. That would give me some extra screws for other New Home SM's.
