Here we go again. I've found a "new" tool that I must have in my collection. I don't have the actual tool but found some pictures to work from. Bolow is a pic of the goal. Ralph |

I visualize it on paper and in three dimensional space. Ralph |

Got a good start today. Drew and cut paper patterns. glued patterns to brass stock 1/2" X 3/16 Began painstaking process of cutting out parts. This is tedious work but must be done precisely to ensure proper fit as parts come together. |

Hi Ralph , its good to see your doing a build log on making this tool ,I am sure it will be interesting to see how you go about make these fine wee tools :thumbup: Rob |

Some operations are basic drilling on the drill press or by hand useing a pin vise or some other devise. This is basic but very important. The hole(s) must be in exactly the right place. The tolerance for error at this scale is very very slight. Ralph Tapping holes and cutting threads are basic operations in every build. Here it is important to follow drilling and tapping scales / schedules; the tiny taps employed can easily break and errors are difficult to correct. Sometimes a part has to be made anew and the procedure repeated. I just hate it when a tap breaks off and ruins a part - especially when the part was a long time in the making. |
