Tim, The vender appears to have changed the SKU on the diffusers you used. --- Quote from: spuddevans on August 19, 2009, 03:24:03 PM ---I got all the LED's, diffusers and the power supply from Dealextreme in hong kong, these are the links; LED's : http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1302 Diffusers : http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2395 Power supply : http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14034 --- End quote --- I think it is now 1917. Now, to the reason I was reading your post in the first place: I was looking for clues on how to make the socket part of a ball and socket joint. Turning a ball is pretty obvious but how the heck does one turn the inverse of one? :scratch: It seems likely from your post that you must have done it. Alan |

In fact I think I cut the slot 1st, which then allowed the steel to spring apart while drilling providing for the grip on the ball. With a larger ball socket it would be possible to turn a slight concave inner section in the lathe I guess. Tim |

I don't think industry is all that keen on internal spherical wotsits. I've seen quite a lot of 'ball-joints' made by using a sphere between two shallow countersinks .. Dave BC |
