Very nice John.

David

If you're not too far away, you are welcome to come & play with my gasless MIG before you make a decision. I'm based inLancashire.

Best one yet

David

Could I make tentative suggestion that the problem might be caused by backlash on the cross slide.

David

I was with you Robert

David

Ah, sorry, I was just attempting to show the style of lock rather than the actual one that was on my stepmother's house.

Link 2nd attempt

David

This might work for you Ian. My mother in law had them fitted to front and rear doors. It allows the door to be locked on the inside but still opened with a key from a key safe.

Thank you John, I'm a little, but only a little, nearer understanding.

David

Many thanks for the replies

I can imagine that the gas that is being used to form the plasma ( if that's what it is ) in a fluorescent tube is the gas that it is filled with but what about the plasma in a plasma cutter? Is that the surrounding air?

If it doesn't show, I'm at the limits of my knowledge here

Rather than hijack the thread that started me wondering, I am starting a new one.

When we talk about the other three states of matter, we can state what they are made from i.e. water, stone, air etc. Can we do the same with plasma?

Just wondering

David

Hello Martin, I've had some success by storing the paint tins upside down. Just make sure the lids are on tightly!

David

Not just me then

Sealing the mask around a curved surface sounds interesting

At the risk of being tedious, here is another video that I found helpful with my clocks.

I hesitate to enter the fray but a guillotine would do it.

David

Thanks Thor. The pattern was from part of a photo'

David

Thanks John no it's a cnc engraver.

I wanted a way of engraving a chapter ring for my clock and after having some success, I tried an engrave on the back plate of my Murday clock.

Thank you, much appreciated

David

Thank you Rik.

Hacksaw, what a brilliant storey
