    Fixturing trick

    I would probably just use a smaller diameter cylinder, maybe 1.5"/4cm, and round off the end a bit so the spoon fits better without quite so much hot glue.

    Fixturing trick

    It has threaded inserts for a custom-built set of hand rest plates. Should be four, but one came loose and I've never got around to gluing it back in. And as John recommended, dapping blocks will work, but can't be turned 360 degrees to position ANY spot on the object square/parallel to the...

    Fixturing trick

    Once again, I made the mistake of saying, "Yeah, sure, I can do that for you..." (Will I EVER learn???) and needed to figure out how to hold a teaspoon to engrave the inner concave surface with some new baby data. Here's what I came up with. It's a 2.5"D cylinder of stainless steel with a big...

    Adapting the GRS Acrobat and Acrobat Versa stands for older Wild Heerbrugg (Leica) microscopes?

    Hi Allan- I'm the king of this sort of thing. There's probably not a single piece of equipment in my shop that hasn't been customized or adapted somehow. Without trying to get into your specific situation, what you need is a friendly machinist with an aptitude for a little seat-of-the-pants...

    Yard Crew

    i'll be darned, so there are! there's quite a flock of turkeys in my neighborhood, too, but for whatever reason they don't use the same 'migration route' as the deer & bears so i seldom see them in my yard. they mostly hang out a couple blocks east of my house because a few people feed them.

    Power Hone Dust cover

    Frank, is your vac slaved to the sharpener switch? If it isn't, or if anybody else is interested, woodworking suppliers (Rockler.com, et. al.) have special switched outlets that kick on the dust collector when the powertool is triggered, so you don't have to turn it on separately and never...

    engraving pewter

    fill the flask right to the brim with fine, DRY* sand and screw the cap on. if you want it to feel really, really, really solid, you can trickle it full of water after putting in the sand, but you will be flushing wet sand out of it for a good while (yet another lesson learned the hard way)...
