Must be hard to wear something that brings back sadness and upset, easier buried in a box and forgotten about. Maybe re-engraving with something new could refresh the love and vigour small inanimate...
Sad story Caroline, sentimentality can be so well ingrained. Hope you managed to get it re-engraved.
He reminds me of being back at school … N
Ahh good old professor John Ahr … I really miss his presence on YouTube … not sure what happened but he’s not made videos for a long time … N
Hi David, i’ve found the best deals that can be had are from over-the-counter at a friendly welding supply company. For generic unbranded kit I would expect to pay roughly £100 for a pair of...
I’m really fussy about new tools, especially when supposedly buying top of the range. I would definitely return them and ask for replacements … N
Mine aren’t a spring loaded variety, they were a little stiff to start with but nothing that a squirt of WD-40 didn’t sort. The jaws have a perfectly ground finished with no pitting. Where did you...
I recently bought two pairs of Maun pliers and I find them fantastic compared to the cheap unbranded varieties i’ve had for awhile that are now pretty much useless as they misalign and are very...
A few issues I know of that can occur … Sievert tortures run on propane and not butane … mostly running with a hose failure valve and not a small regulator … a jet inside the burner controls the gas...
Nice lot of tools for the price … i’m sure someone will snap them up … great for somebody just starting out … good luck with it … N
That looks like a good option Efo, I don’t think you’ll regret it … N
Not sure if I should mention it on here but my unbranded mitre jig came from cousins. I can’t really recommend the company compared to Cooksongold.
I have had some really poor quality product sent...
Some people say you get what you pay for. I recently spent £36 on a basic mitre jig tool that I’m very happy with, can’t fault it so far seems very accurate. Being a hobbyist I tend to go for budget...
Look forward to seeing your photos … N
Cheers for the plug David. How time flies when you’re having fun, almost 3 years on here and YouTube and nearly 45k subs thanks to everyone’s support and encouragement … N
Sorry to hear you’re struggling with your hands Joe and having to change direction. Must have been a difficult choice to make especially having to let go of so many precious and sentimental tools....
Got carried away a couple of months ago and used Christmas as an excuse … N
Thanks for that China. I’ve been really enjoying my new dapping set, surprising what you can come up with when fiddling around with new tools sometimes.
Here’s a link to my wire bead video if...
Nothing quite as satisfying as cobbling together a home-made tool, especially when you can save a lot of money. Looks like it can handle a lot more than 2 tons if necessary one day.
I suppose it’s...
That looks like the business with those fat aluminium blocks … N
One more thought … some machinemart stores have display models in stock and a traditional mechanics hydraulic benchpress might be worth looking at. It may be possible to test one if you take in your...
I’ve used a fly press in my day job for many years. A fabulous tool that is very versatile, easy to make tooling for and set up for production work. However the power to weight ratio is not good and...
Wow … Some very elegant top end jewellery being shown made on that channel … N
Good luck with your purchase. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have … N
