    It's a sad day....


    I guess 100 years or so of hitting really can take it's toll. My beautiful Nicol's No. 337 swivel broke on me during my workout the other day...bummer!

    ...now the search is on to fix this baby.

    Dee's brass ball and hook would look great in there if it fits!

          ZA,
          Seriously, why didn't you just e-mail me? I have that swiv plus a couple of other ones. I'm on it and, I will make that swiv a better one! I'v had plans in my head since I purchased my own Nichols. I just don't have a platform worthy of hanging it on. Your swiv, is the ball shot or can you reuse? Is the... I'll just call. I would appreciate the opportunity.

              I have other plans for that beauty!

              Let me just say that Tommy T is AWESOME! He is going to fix me right up...a true brother of the bag. Thank you Tommy.

              ...and thank for all the kind comments, but she will live again!

                  So, it's been awhile (kind of busy with the film and all)... but now.... she's back!
                  Special thanks to the amazing Tommy T, who built a retro-fit shackle that has brought my vintage Nicol's swivel back from the dead. I like to call it my "Tommy T Zom B" swivel!




                  Thank you Tommy, my speed bag brother! It's SO nice to have the sound of this swivel ringing again.

                      Just spent 2 hours beating this baby into submission...what a blast. Love this swivel! Thanks again Tommy for the fix.

                            Tommy is a master craftsman with metal. Haven't found anything he can't build or fix. Not too shabby with wood, either!

                              Not so sad anymore

                              Thanks ZA, Dutchman, Nah, Alan. Those swivels are awesome and have been one of my desires for awhile. I have more retro fits of these swivels which I am finding out that there were quite a few different models made by Nicols. I have three of them.
                              Dutchman do you know all of the models?
