Fastlane,
That's some nice work. I looked in my junk box, but couldn't find anything suitable. I then went to Home Depot and found something a little different. I couldn't find any suitable bushings or grommets. What I did find was a package of rubber tips for canes -- 7/8 inch I.D.
I did some cutting on one of them with my exacto knife, but result was amateurish. I picked up another one and drilled a hole in the end and then widened the hole out to 7/8", using a cylindrical cutter in my Dremmel. (I used a breathing mask because I was unsure about the danger of breathing the dust.) The end result is large, 1-1/4 " O.D. But it still fits my watch pocket and it stands on its end very nicely.
Thanks for the idea.
Paul
