I am sure that all of you have faced this one, then again perhaps it's just me.
In discussing a design, it became aparent, that I could benefit from 0.9 silver wire. I stock 1 and 0.8, but if I spent 150 pound I could buy good plate, tongs, and freedom, but no silver alternitivly I could just buy the wire.
I seem to be able to spend a kings ransom in the name of perfection particularly on tools.
Is it me ?

Carbide insert drawplates are particularly nice to use :)
If you are drawing down thin wires and have a fixed vice, then you need to buy a drawplate and hand tongs. About £80 inclusive of VAT will buy your freedom.
If later you wish to add drawlpates for heavier wires you need only to add a mini-winch from a yacht shop and you are all set up. Dennis.
I like my stash of silver.
tools make you money well thats what I tell the Mrs !
I agree but the don't match her shoes, and clash with her handbag ;)Quote:

I love my tools, and one can NOT have too many tools......but tools without metal :(
An equation only to be solved by your metal stock Julian!!
And that sums up the dialema. I think this time I will buy some 0,9Quote:
