Remember then floats were copper, 70 plus years and still going, I had a 1909 THOR motorcycle that had a stainless steel float in the card, remember plastic is for child toys only.

Yeah I am going to replace it with a brass one.

Machined some new knobs for my PM1340GT lathe.

Is it OK to tell another man you have nice knobs?

One of the many great things about machines is, they don't have identity crisis's. Happy 4th, Mike

I won't tell anyone. But thanks.

I agree, kind like everyone else here to make our machines our own by little kustom touches.

Happy 4th to everyone here as well.

Mike.

I picked up a right angle mill attachment off of Ebay and it didn't come with a spanner wrench. I thought about making a nice one out of billet and spend 2 days machining it and then I came to my senses and whipped out this down and dirty wrench. I even repurposed and old cheap screwdriver for the handle.

Ceiling tin, 4" insulation, and new light!
If I keep upgrading, I will soon never go in the house again.
Now I need to source some ac's.

I needed a drill jig to correctly locate two .093 holes in basswood hub blocks for some of the propellers. I was OK until I tried to use 1/2 by 1/8 alum for the bridge, the bushings wouldn't both fit.



The jig will accommodate 1 1/2, 1 3/4 and 2" hub blocks by putting 1/4 or 1/8 spacers in the left end.
