Purchased shortly ago / sthg new in your workshop -> present it here

[Peterairfix]

It's taken a few weeks to arrive but I finally have my laser cut frame set all I need is the courage to start it.

 

[WojtasS]

This isn't exacly a tool, but fits into a "sth new" category. Bought by pure coincidence and such could happen more often. Nowadays I have no skill or patience for puzzles- my sister will do them for me

 

[Uwek]

Do you remember "Kill Drill" or was it it "Drill Kill(er) Uwe"?

My local hobby shop has no more the 0,5mm Proxxon drills, so I ordered them (10 boxes) from an online store. (and some 0,8mm)
So for the next time I will have enough of them to drill all my future treenail-holes ....
and added some brass and also some carbon, which I will try maybe as possible "bolting"

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Looks like you hit the jackpot on drill bits.

Now to see if you can find them when you need them next time.

@Uwek , carbon materials, you show, are they supplied both round and square and in what dimensions, as you say, if this can be used as an imitation of bolts then this can save us a lot of work with blackening brass bolts, thanks-

These carbon rod has 0,8mm and is round.
As I understood from modellers in Germany there are also carbon rods with smaller diameter available knowing about one supplier f.e. with 0,5mm.
I will try this one and will show once in a short post the results - on one side the workability and the final appearance

Whilst completely unconnected with boats I have just picked up my new car.
As my old one was getting tired and becoming a bit of a money pit.

Good lord you can still buy those? Careful on the turns!

That is a complete myth if you are talking about the top gear episode they doctored the car to make it easier to turn over.
Because they are more stable than you think.

Watch out for Mini Coopers

As my QM2 is looking decidedly shabby I thought I would treat myself.

looking for ideas/thoughts on ultrasonic cleaners to be used cleaning my airbrush?

looking for ideas/thoughts on ultrasonic cleaners to be used cleaning my airbrush?

I bought a nice medium size one at Harbor Freight and it has worked good for tasks given to clean and prep metals for treatment and clean model railroad parts.

 

[Will @ Trilogy]

Couple of questions please
what is a medium size (how big of parts will it handle)?
what do use to clean with?
have you cleaned photo etch?

 

[Bird]

I Googled ultrasonic airbrush cleaner and the first one was this from Harbour freight

 

[Will @ Trilogy]

Thanks I'll look into them.

Hej, Norway, if you look at my recent post, you'll see how I fitted a circular saw blade to mine. I also disabled the red lever.

@Stuart Little, my problem is that the saw blades that came with the saw break/break easily, so I will try metal blades of the type that I use on my Prooxon FET saw, changing the saw blade itself is not a problem, Thanks for your attention, greetings Knut-
