That's a nice looking knurl on the thimble.

Thanks Tom I did the knurl with the knurler I made sometime back, i did push it in a little deep so it has some points on it that need the touch of a fine tooth file.

Steve the thimble is almost identical to the one that Tom posted on his site, so the only thing for a lock will be a spring and ball to hold tension on the Thimble but if needed I can always spin up a lock nut for the back end of the Spindle to lock it with.
