Hi John. There was some really “fancy” machining going on there. Showing all the skill and art of a master. :clap: Exceptionally Good. :clap: DaveH |

Nice job John, and it looks great. I've made a number of displacer cans, and come across the "singing" you mentioned. Putting a wet piece of cloth or paper towel inside the piece stops the singing and vibrations. Dean |

Thank you all gents for the kind comments, amd I would like to reply to a few of them. Rob, Even though not seen, I am sure you are like myself, no matter how mundane the job, it deserves to be finished to the best of my ability. It only takes a couple of extra minutes, so it gets done. Dave H, Not a master at all, just someone who takes things steady and thinks everything thru before doing anything. Being prepared to do the job is 90% of the job done beforehand, the rest is just taking things easy and not rushing. OK, I do have a fair arsenal of specialist tooling at my disposal, but that only helps mainly with the set up times, normal methods work just as well. Dean, I feel such a drip for not remembering to do the soaked cloth tip, but it didn't spring to mind at the time as I was getting on OK. Next time I do something similar to this, I might be able to remember and give it a try out. Thank you again merry men for the encouragement. John |
