Tools or silver

[Julian]

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

[Dennis]

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.

I agree but the don't match her shoes, and clash with her handbag

Then again the don't match my shoes eithe! I am beginning to think making more is better than more tools.
