I wanted to work out a display for the Sheffield style sportsman's knife I made a while back. Many of the Sheffield exhibition knives would be displayed standing on end with everything opened up. I wanted to go a bit further and have this one rotate. About 1 3/4 rpm , 9 volt battery powered. Test ran was about 8 hours continuous run time. The ebony tray holds the tweezers and pick. The base is distressed (worm holes/splits) red oak. Slide switch in back to turn off and on.

Very nice display, i also noticed that the tip of the master resulted centered on the rotating axis, so we can say perfect on 360° ;)
