Ditto, that's exactly why I had some of those joints, but none of the coil spring pins
Dennis, would that still hold true for the double coil pin SuzC has ? I have the joints but not that particular pin style, so i couldn't physically try it, but it looks to me that the flat, if...
Just a heads up for anyone who is looking for thick walled tubing, but with walls less thick than jointing tubing. I was hunting for 0.8 - 1.00mm walled tubing.

I used to make them, with a good success rate, as advised by Dennis by starting on the surface of the block, but I needed a smaller bottom end and so now I start them inside a hole but gently tap...
Not all of the formulations of 'Head and Shoulders' appear to contain Selenium Sulphide. Specifically the one Dennis has pictured and used, Head and Shoulders Scalp Relief and also, I understand,...
It sounds like your ingot is wider than the d-shaped channel you are rolling with, am I right? If so, you need to understand that a rolling mill will shape the metal length-wise and spread it to...
If it is the same Faro quick release handpiece that I have, then the lever turned towards the flex shaft is open and turned towards the chuck is closed. But note, like mine, it probably only takes...

Take Dennis' suggestion and check out AE Ward. Currently they have 2.4mm Round White CZs at £2 ea or £0.10 ea for 100 at a 95% discount (so a tenner for 100 practice stones!). Those prices will be...
Here you go; 3mm disc punch replacement, I knew I'd seen some UK stock somewhere:https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/7-diameters-03-to-0125mm Worth a chance for £3.95 + VAT? It looks like 3mm is a...
You could get a replacement 3mm punch (pack of 2) and other diameters, from a USA based supplier e.g. https://www.riogrande.com/product/steel-punch-for-swanstrom-disc-cutter-3mm-dia/11259403, though...
Now that would be the best Design Inspiration strapline ever.
I didn't even bother reading that one! Saw that picture and that was enough. :)
Mind you, I'm thinking of hanging my shaving brush around my neck when I go to work tomorrow.
Sorry Caroline, I forgot that you concentrated on individually designed pieces, and so your comment would come from that viewpoint. Whereas my mind is currently firmly set in the 'similar but not...
