I collect old/antique measuring devices and hand tools and of course I need some place nice to store them.... And that just arrived today! :D It still needs hinges and feet but just now I really like the way it looks! :D

Is it toolbit or brazed carbide?

:D :D :D :D :D

Something I've noticed with a lot of the digital tools is that the more you pay for it the longer the battery time. I use a TESA at work and it usually takes a year before the battery is dead. At home I used to use a cheat diesella and I had to change the battery about every month. threw it away...

Look at you old people! Sitting there rambling about the good old days and those pesky young people who can't do anything without technology! ;D To quote Tin Falcon: 'Bet those young kids do not know how to use a slide rule either LOL.' No we don't and we don't need to! :P Why did you learn to...

I'm currently in China so for some strange reason I cant get into my gmail account (Wonder why? ;D ) So I'll email you when I get back to Denmark. Just one question: what is the dimension on the groove?

Hey Dennis where in DK are you located? I might be able to help.

I dont know about hong kong or Shenzhen, but 2hours away from Shenzhen lies Qiaotou (Donguan, Guandong) When you in Qiaotou walk down the Mainstreet you meet a large bowlingpin. down that street there is a lot of hardware shops. The first one on the left side is really nice and the owner is...

I was wondering if you have it as a solid? I would like to take a look at it perhaps convert it to metric?

They still make their boring and facing UPA heads. Not UPA1 and UPA2 but still UPA3-6 Really nice tools! ;D They actually still scrape the ways on the UPA's. Their digibore line is amazing! I believe that the entire line is selfbalancing and you really avoid a lot of mistakes with the digital...

A few months ago I visited the Wohlhaupter factory in Frickenhausen and I was very impressed with the German handwork, Something that testifies to the quality of Wohlhaupter is that they quite often decide to repair a damaged tool rather than make a new one! On the factory I saw a boring tool...

Right at the moment I'm visiting china (Qintao (or Qiandao or how it is spelled?) in the Guangdong region) And there is a LOT of small machine shops in the area, I haven't been to one visit one of the yet but I will in a few days. However I have been to a shop that sells machine tools!(and...

Has there been more progress? looking forward to it!

Interesting please keep posting! Looks like something that may come in handy at some time!

So thats how a box spring mattress looks like on the inside! ;D Removing staples is without a doubt something that shows true love! :)

Looks cosy! :)

Nice! I like the idea of standardizing tooling, makes everything much easier. So did you cut the dovetails on the shaper or? Pictures would be appreciated! :)

Looks nice! But why 4? :) Please tell me it is because you have 4 small lathes placed different places around the house! ;D That would be cool! ;D

Quite long and they should last a lot longer now because with coolant in the cylinder it makes a much softer stroke, also having different blades with various teeth numbers helps! It is a nice saw, but bandsaws are faster and cheaper in the long run(if you get one with a blade brush)
