Im not sure who is selling them now, the web page that Bob Shores was selling them through is no longer available, since Bob has passed away

You could try Dirk Tollenaar ([email protected]) he is selling the peewee V4, he might be able to point you in the right direction

Thought I would try and make a small tool post grinder to see if I can grind the valve stems when I make them

Still a little bit to do

Hi
I sent to a company and asked for samples,and they sent me 8 different dyes, that was a long time ago

You can get all you need from here though. http://www.caswellplating.com.au

Hope this helps

Stone wobbled so I made a new end to hold the stone, but it looks like the thread on the shaft is crooked

Have to do some more investigation, maybe make a new shaft

My Fordom(?) knockoff had a spinal run out of about 0.001. I made a spindle that I could attach the drive too and got that down to 0.0004. But finding a grinding tool that maintains that tolerance has been hard to find.

One more skill to pickup. Anodising. Buying Sulphuric Acid in Singapore is tough. Will try to get some.

 

[RonGinger]

Sulfuric acid is not needed. The acid sold in powder form for use in swimming pools works just as well, and is much simpler to use. I had some sulfuric in my shop once and it rusted everything in sight. The pool acid worked fine on a couple parts I tried. My big problem was not getting the nice dark color I wanted. Like all shop processes it takes practice to get it good.

I have all the acid out side in a cupboard, so it won't affect anything in my work shop

Did you heat the dye, made thats the problem

I have a fish tank heater in the dye, if I want it to be darker I leave it in the dye for about 20 minutes

Back plate and Water outlet pipe made
Just need to fit it all together now

There seems to be a hole in my work shop that everything you drop falls into, and is never to be seen again

Anyone else have one of these holes...or am I the only one

 

[ICEpeter]

Michael,
A small playful dog works like the proverbial hole in the shop floor. Have to keep an eye on the little bugger when he is around small parts that drop on the floor.

[Cogsy]

I'm not sure I have a hole as such, more like a portal. I drop something and it enters the portal, impossible to find no matter how much searching I do. 3 months later it appears in plain sight, maybe even sitting in the middle of the bench...
