In my experience more than 12 months in a tightly sealed container, or just days in a bad container. You have a lot of air volume in the container which is not good.

Back in the 60's and 70's Eifflander used to recommend 33% each of the 3 main components and then some ignition improver, which is basically their running in mix. I found that works great.

Nice model.

Jason Absolutely perfect. Then he would have just needed a half decent setup with the rotating tool mounted to the cross slide. Notice I say rotating tool, I doubt a Dremel is rigid enough for what was being described, the nose/front of a Dremel is a bit flexible.

It was an interesting challenge that the OP set. I doubt he resolved that problem with his skill levels.

Some of these bad collet sets are just not worth bothering with, some run out nearly as much as a three jaw chuck. In England (where you are) there is a company in Oxford called DJ Workholding and they sell the Fahrion collets, you will not be disappointed in those and you don't need to buy a...

OK that is a shame, in Detroit it self there is so much industrial heritage (and wreakage) that it is a most interesting place to visit. The Ford factory at Piquet Avenue and then the High Land Park shell are interesting to me along with many others.

Next time that I am in Michigan then I will visit Willow Run, I think that is fairly close to where you live. Is there much of the factory left where Ford made the B24 bombers in WW2, I am really interested in that era of manufacturing.

Nice work, congratulations

Hello Old School How are you getting on? Good to see you on this forum. Regards Barrie

I am very interested to read about casting practices for small engines. I support anything that adds more good content.

DOS on a dedicated computer is very reliable as your stamping press proves. If you only want to run one application at a time then DOS does great.

I remember you saying that your first lathe was a Unimat 3, blimey that was a slippery slope that your Dad set you down. The chap who I knew that built a Morley 47G had a Myford 7, this was back in the late 70's. Do you still have the Unimat? I have one and just today I have had a PeWe tools...

I am not sure that I agree with you on the 10 year old obsolescence of computers. Dedicate a computer to a single task and don't have it connected to the internet and it will give you amazing service for decades, I know because I am doing it.

The company is a UK company/bureau but he struggled to do more (I think his sub contractor went bust). I am now working witha University on a very inclusive project and will get my parts FOC. The best company to start off getting quotes from is Shapeways 3D Printing Service Online they have...
