I had a similar problem and after a close study of everything you notice the C Max blanks are a tiny bit smaller than the Lindsey blanks, if you put each one in and after tightening the set screw grab each by the tip and move it back & forth. You will see that the CMax moves back & forth a tiny...
It's being investigated. He's looking at Felony charges . The tool has been altered slightly.if you look carefully you can see a steel colored air nipple in place of one of the brass ones. According to Steve. This is the Same guy who ordered the original handpiece. Most of us felt something was...
The great thing about practicing drawing is it's something you always find a little time to dedicate to it here & there if you just carry around a pad and some pencils( he'll even a pen ) and you can practice while sitting in your car waiting for someone who ran into a store or even while...
All anyone has to do who wants to know specifics on those details is ask Steve he's extreamly easy to talk to . I'm not sure about any of his parents being expired or not so I don't make assumptions. .I know the name palm control is trademarked this why GRS uses a different term. I accidentally...
It was the 1st one I bought. I GAVE IT AWAY To a guy just starting out. They have almost no resale value. That's one thing you can't say about a Lindsey. I've owned 5 or 6 in my time and have run into health issues where I needed some serious cash immediately. Everyone except 1 sold for the same...
Thats very close to what my late Mother in law used to do, she also had MS which effected her real bad towards the end of her life ,she was wheelchair bound, She had creating beautiful Ceramics most all of her life and she continued carving into the the ceramics all the way to the end by using...
To be perfectly blunt you have NO IDEA what Steve Lindsey has done to make his Fractal vise ,None. If all you say you've done in your life is true ,GREAT your doing the right thing but you haven't done anything else almost every one of us hasn't done, is still doing or is in the process of...
You can use a hammer and chisel to see if you have talent. Alot goes into developing & marketing, everyone talks about things being unfair or the price is to high. Lindsey quality is no better than the knockoffs, These ppl NEVER held a Lindsey in their hand. Now on to my point. Imagine for a...
As far as being to early in your journey to get a power anything over a manual ,I personally feel anything you can get thats powered and you can afford you should grab it, there are enough things, especially in the beginning of this beautiful art of hand engraving that are going to be hard and...
Thank you for the kind reply, I actually have or should I say had ,both types of pick ups but I prefer Humbuckers most would have to say, as far as engraving for their high end stuff we’ve discussed possible custom engravings on the brass pick guards as an option but haven’t really went to deep...
I just figured out what this guys number one complaint is . He found out that you don’t get a “ participation trophy “ for engraving and with that automatically get the same exact respect as a Master Engraver so the new guys feelings don't get hurt.
I swear I’ve never heard anyone complain as much as you, sounds like you would be better off buying one of those lazer engravers you claim do much a great job . You’ve just sat there and outright insulted everything about this art that the rest of us love, you go buy one of those Chinese...
I got to spend about 5 minutes on one when I was over in Germany visiting Family in a little town called Fishbeck. It's near Hamlin the town where the Pied Piper was said to have plied his trade. My cousin was friends with a Jeweler . He had one. It performed just like the enset I bought to give...
I don't have any Lindsey vises left ,sorry. I have an old GRS but another guy is coming to look at it this weekend. If nothing pans out I'll send you a photo and info if your still interested
I use a Zeiss but its a ZEISS OPMI1 ,a Surgical microscope ,It unbelievable but Im sure there are a lot of differences in the two. I had the Leica which I sold to get this Zeiss and that was a fantastic scope especially with the Camera included in it, Great for making videos
