Title: My first ball ...
Post by: ksor on August 23, 2012, 07:06:23 AM

Now I got my first steinless steel ball made on my jig - it took way too long to finish the jig, but now it's done !  :med:

Nice job, well done,
One queston; what did you use to put on your engine jewelling marks?..I have seen other work with this type of finish, some say they have used wire brushes wrapped with wire or hose clips, have seen videos where they have used 'Cratex rubberised abrasive sticks (only seem to be avaible in the US not in the UK) some have used abrasive paste on the end of dowels etc, etc...  what did you use  :scratch:
cheers

Hi ksor

.. Would be nice to see the pics of the set up / tools you have to do the engine jewelling, sounds like you have a simple solution?  :scratch:
