    Hello Stevie777
    I was given an old pendant motor like that, I broke the fixed chuck two years ago and when I went up to the desk at Cookson in Hatton Garden they didn't have any replacement parts or know anyone that could show me how to repair it. Now I see in the new catalogue they've got some parts that might be compatible. Thanks for the info given in your chat Ive boxed it up and reverted to a bow drill (very eco friendly) and a Dremel fixed in a work station, not as good, alright for drilling.

    regards CeeBee

    Maybe once you've contacted Milbro and got the info you require you'll let us see what you make with it or better still if you mean to sell it, we always like new tools for sale

    It looks that way to me, I hope it wasn't my request for pics, I was just kidding Steve, no offence intended.

    I'll probably sell it. I have no need for it and up to my ears in half finished projects of one kind or another, none involve the use of a pendant drill.

    Thanks Steve, it was interesting to see the pics of the type of thing anyway so I could picture it

    Probably the easiest Jewelery anyone could make. I liked the primitiveness of the whole process. The only thing missing was the charcoal furnace and instead of forge welding the ends closed, you use electricity.

    You are basically following in the footsteps of the first Jewelers when you think about it. Nowhere near as intricately designed as the real deal Celtic/Anglo Saxon metal workers/artists but for my first foray into bracelet making i was impressed what one could do with basic materials and a good eye.

    I have some friends who are blacksmiths and make some lovely pieces in steel and copper, not sure my wrists could take the hammering these days though!
