Very nice lookin tampers. I need to learn how to use my mini metal lathe so I can make those brass bottoms you have there. That looks like those are a lot of fun to make.

but i didn't use lathe to turn the bottoms, they are just glued on.
you can just use a saw to cut a piece of brass and glue them together.
to make these three tampers, you only need a sander (disc or belt), and some sandpaper, maybe a buffing wheal for the finish.
Cheers.

I got the ox horn online in China.
I live in China by the way.
They are not the best quality ones, and a bit small.
But there are some better ones. They are 16cm to 20cm long, and about 12usd for one piece.
