I finished up the machining of the pump center today. Now I just need to remember to stop by the hardware store to pick up a spring for it. 17428

You have a lathe Ed and therefore the capability to wind your own spring. It's loads of fun and super dangerous!

Tom,

I may have the equipment to do the job but not the skill, nor the balls, to try and wind a dangerous object. I still have all of my digits and eyes intact and I'd like to keep them that way. Big Grin

Mike,

Thanks for the attempt, but that's not very comforting. Sadno

Actually it's not that bad with a little common sense. Maybe I'll do a video on spring winding for something a little different. Chin

Good idea! I'd be interested in a video as well!

Well it looks like that is sorted then - off you go and make a video Tom!

Mike - could you post some pics of the Braille mics that you have in the Metrology section please? BillyG recently got a Braille mic and it was interesting to see.
