Brian, I like your design. Being a model railroader, I use smaller taps. I'm going to see if I can adapt your idea to a smaller design for smaller taps such as 2-56 and down to 00-90. Bernd

Ya, I gotta do that once in a while. B

Thanks Dave. Bernd

Howdy. Ya well I did some parring down of interests. Added a couple of CNC machines. I've got it down to model railroading and then machining since machining goes along with model railroading. I'll post some projects I've done but I'm not into building steam engines. Still have casting of a 1...

Thanks for the welcome back Gail. I'll check out the bearing place. Thanks. Bermd

I didn't remember my old password so I had get a new one. Problem was the e-mail I had used back then I wasn't using any more. I couldn't believe I was able to get on that old e-mail. I had my password written down in a book I keep with all past and present passwords and low and behold it...

Looks like the last time I was here was in 2011. WOW eleven years ago. Came across the HMEM logo and wanted to see if my account was still active and it was. Had to change my e-mail address and pass word though. I signed on back in 2008 when Brass Machine had started this forum. Bogstandard aka...

Not to put a damper on this but, how about Job's tech partner Steven Wozniazk. Here's a quote from the Woz : "We were just a great combination back at the start," Woz told me, "because I had such incredible tech talents and Steve had just the business overview, the desire to make something out...

Ok, we're straying of subject here, so I have one comment left here - That room comes with a price tag, it's called taxes. As long has you can enjoy your hobby in that area that's all that counts. Thm: Bernd

Sorry about that picture Pete. Here's what it looks like about 10 years later. :big: And here is what it's going to look like redone. Not quite at the same angle, but same direction. I've been updating my shop. I've installed better work benches. If your interested how it started, here's a...

Hey Roger, is it the same one as I have? If so get the inch lead screws from Micro Mark. It's worth it. I think this October it's time for you to make a visit. stickpoke I've changed my model shop around. I think you'll like it. Bernd
