Wow......Planisher of the Year Award may be appropriate ....... HSS tooling [over carbide] usually helps eliminate any grabbing of annealed copperDerek
This has not been my month for ordering this (and getting them). Online Metals backordered one of the pipes I ordered without telling me, then swore up and down it would be in and ship out yesterday (two weeks late). Not so - cancelled that item, found it on McMasterCarr, same thing at half the price and it will be here tomorrow afternoon... "[size=12pt]FROM CNR6400:Hi Chris, It pays to shop around these days. McMaster is hard to beat for carrying / distributing just about everything! I can usually get small qty of materials from them at a fraction of what the local Metal Supermarket charges (Canadian version of Online Metals I guess), even after shipping and money exchange! The flanged end looked like a great fit in your tube section in the last photo.[/size]
Hey, Chris, I think your elf-spector is related to an expatriate elf with a bad (aren't they all?) New Your accent who showed up in my shop and conned me into hiring him. He says his name is Fritz Bruder and he loves to wrench on my engines...He tires easily standing all the time so I made him a crate. He likes to sit on it and wear his weird welding helmet that he says he picked up in some place in England but I think he's lying, probably light-fingered it from some museum.
Marv:I think that Fritz's twin brother is camped out on my shelf. He's always sitting around and when I ask him why he's sitting around and when he's going to get to work, he says he's on his "Union" break. See attached photo.Crueby thinks he's devolved into a gnome - I dunno, biology was never my thing.Don
