    This fixture functions great and just posting these final images so folks get an idea of what is involved in making something like this. Got about thirty bucks in bearings. The arm support is easily slid in or out as preferred. Cheers Richard

    Raised dot border

    Monk, thank you for replying. I’m not understanding you as I guess I did not make it clear in my question. Let me try again please. I’m not interested in the scroll engraving shown in the photo, I just want an idea of how to get those dots as shown in the photo. Let’s say that the metal surface...

    Avoiding oxidation/rust on mild steels

    3 in 1 oil is an excellent anti rust oil. In a real life test it beat out renaissance wax which came out in second place. Quite a few well known rust preventative oils and greases were tried. Cheers Richard
