Nice
I am waiting for a pneumatic chainsaw

oooh very nice! Do want... not sure for what, but it's scarcely important

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Some more work on this, the schrader was slightly crooked and annoying the heck out of me so I drilled it out and installed a new one - needs a bit of cleaning up once the epoxy cures but aligned at least.

I also made a new collar out of brass and extended the dimple pattern but to be honest it's not that attractive, I might just have overdone it. A plain ring sounds like a better idea.

[Labtecpower]

The dimply ring is too much I think...

A nice shaped smooth polished collar would look better.

JSR,

What happened to the silver solder!!! I hate waiting for epoxy...

Yep, definitely. I'll keep it as an "Ah, look, I was up all night making you this ring" emergency gift

In this case it's past my bedtime so it has plenty of time to cure before I have time to do more on it tomorrow after work. Unlike some people *cough cough hint hint cough cough* I have a day job and don't get to tinker from 9 till 5

[Labtecpower]

Yep, definitely. I'll keep it as an "Ah, look, I was up all night making you this ring" emergency gift

Again I would go for something smooth and polished

*cough cough hint hint cough cough*

I'll think of you when I wake up at 10.30

Doesn't matter, it's the reaction that counts. Don't waste time and effort making gifts for ungrateful women

That was meant for USGF who earns a living commanding an army of CNC slaves I never wake up that late, work or weekend, unless I've had a particularly heavy night and got home at 6 in the morning...

I tought you was pointing at my midweek party

Again, you seem to attract a different kind than I do

[Gun Freak]

Definitely over did that ring. Looks like it has anti mumps. Plain brass would be best, I think.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I know it sounds "bitter" but honestly, there's only one "kind" the only reason I go on about it here is that there are so many things I wish I was told when I was younger, it would have made life easier

Looks like it has anti mumps.

Cheers

Yes, plain brass looks like a better deal, though I might inlay some aluminium to make it interesting.

In terms of decoration I was talking to jakethebeast and he mentioned etching, definitely something I want to look into, especially as I have access to pretty much any acid I want

[USGF]

I have access to pretty much any acid I want

Very dangerous that Nitric acid.

Very dangerous that Nitric acid.

I have a couple of litres in the lab, and a couple of drums in the plant, but it seems that I won't have to resort to anything that violent

Jack, if you want to get rid of the nitric acid (or any other), let myself and SB know, we'll happily relieve you of it.

Nice work, if the ring makes triggering it easier, then it's perfect, function over form and all.

(Speaking of acids, I just managed to spill some 70% H₂SO₄ on heating apparatus.Hot heating apparatus of course. Improvising miniature glassware from Pasteur pipettes requires better glassworking skills.)

Don't worry, I get rid of it bit by bit

No, that's the problem with making things pretty! The issue here is that I deliberately went for aesthetic features. Been reading up on etching though, it seems like I can do it easily, watch this space

Only 70%? pfft.

I might have some spare weird glassware on the market...
