Well well. I have a Schaefer pen which was a 21st birthday present as well. I think I know where it is! I remember the two friends whose present it was and still know one of them. Out it will come...

Would an ultrasonic bath help? After all it loosens and removes anything to clean clock movements.

Burner 3940.....perfect ! The ideal balance. A controlled dragon compared to the 3941 which is good for plumbing!

I have been using the above with the needle flame 3537 for my small soldering jobs and then a large unwieldy go gas torch for larger bits. I want to get a new burner for my sievert kit instead. I do...

Yes that’s what I do with scrap. Cut as many out as possible, texture some , drill a 1.5mm hole towards the edge, dome...

Yes, quite something. Near me there used to be a pub with a large water tank outside in the garden. A piece of chain led from a post into the water. Notice said...don’t tease the water...

Different thicknesses, different diameters.....I would be bound not to have the ready cut disc when I wanted it.......then to wait a minimum of 2 days before you can get what you want. David

Were you able to see the product when I sent you the second reply? No obvious url .....

Thanks for all your advices. The choice of equipment is very broad.

Dennis. When you say a white cube are you alluding to a light box of 40x40 cms to be large enough with external 3 lights as...

As ever.....questions! I want to take some better quality photos of my “creations”! I have a good DSLR camera and quite a bit of success in general photography. However so far I have been...

Andrew Berry I think has a talk on sharpening the punches.
I have one like yours and found difficulties in cutting neatly so after some looking about I bought a clamping one. I found it on eBay at...

Thank you both. This could be “the answer to the maidens prayer”! One item I like to make includes a hammer finished domed roundell of silver. I have to be so careful not to be too strong when doming...

Ah, memories .......of course I remember that a silver spoon used for eating a boiled egg always tarnished. It was my job as a child to polish them up. Should have remembered that!

Did that with a number of other pieces....no go! Collect only. Maybe they take pity on those that live in the wilds!
