The knot idea would have been good had I had more time. Good idea
everybody! I went with the all-wood skew and had everybody sign it. He
liked it.

I once tied a rifle barrel in a knot. I have tied several screwdrivers
in
knots. I think a skew with a knot is do-able (use lots of heat.) You
will
have to start out with a piece of steel considerably longer than the
finished length to allow for the knot.
