Todays Project - What did you do today?

[EdK]

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.

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.

Don't worry about your eyes, i've got a braille micrometer and braille depth micrometer i could lend you.

Mike,

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

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.

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.
