    knew about it already
  1. Hey Folks, good news... Found an old X-acto modeling set, and someone who may be able to do a 'tap & die' job on the rest for me. Yay! Working on a basic wallet, Johann approves my beveling, so hopefully will post the project soon. Thanks to all for your suggestions and support, Elizabeth
  2. lol.... got everything but the torch. I must be a tick on the wimpish side, lol.... But, if I can find a different tool, that particular tip can just live there in peace. You guys rock, Elizabeth
  3. Interesting that you should mention that. I did look at X-acto handles; they do have an eensy pin vise/micro drill set. Says the largest size fit is 7mm diameter. I also did a bit of research on pin vises in general; therein may lie my solution. T'morrah I'll be on a Quest to find one locally, now that I know what to pester folks about. Appreciatively, Elizabeth (who is still gonna try the diesel & GunSlick recipe from Kayak)
  4. Tough love I can do...... I tried the WD 40, can hop over to my friends' store for some Gunslick, and the diesel fuel can be had about 6 blocks away. Thanks for the suggestions! I've also been thinking of having a few more swivel knives of different styles to play with, to see what clicks with my hand. I have an idea of a holder that I got from a pencil extender in my art supplies.... all I would need is a screw on the side to adjust tightness. Nice to have some hope.... Elizabeth
  5. I have put all the comparison photos in an album.... Main one is Elizabeth Chase - Main; the tool photos are in Elizabeth Chase - Tools. Thanks for any assistance, Elizabeth
  6. I really like the Tandy Bullseye Minimal Revolver Holster Kit. Item 44454-01 You can special order the left-handed kit. Or if you are skilled, just go by the pictures. This way, you don't have to have an exact barrel length. I am trying to invent a double should holster for riding. Way easier for a guy than a woman, I'll tell you that for free, lol.... I'd put my buddy on the spot and have him make the tracings of his firearm for you. If he wants this so bad, require that he participate in the process instead of you doing all the leg work. From the information you've shared, he seems like kind of a black hole, sucking your time and energy and resources for his own needs. Hopefully he really isn't this way, but I think he does need to set you up for success so you can provide him with what he wants. Heck, have HIM get the kit, tools, replica plastic gun thingie........... He can trace his own firearm! that way you will know just how much he wants this holster. If he balks, don't do it. This is how I know how much a friend wants me to make something.... it is a partnership.. Feel free to keep in touch if you think it would help keep you getting what you need in the sense of fair play. Elizabeth I really like the Tandy Bullseye Minimal Revolver Holster Kit.

  7. Searching for barrel holder so I can use the smaller tips. Size comparisons between smaller tips and larger barrel I already have. Metal barrel that is the right size but has a tip jammed or frozen such that it cannot be removed. I prefer the larger barrel style that fits my hand better, but the metal barrel style is OK. My hand will adapt, lol....
  8. I'll try to attach one. I'm also going to try to create a wee gallery of what I have to help give folks a better idea. Of course, I can also send photos directly to folks. Elizabeth
  9. I have a pair of Uberti .45s; my instructions were to wrap them in saran-wrap (several layers, obviously) and just use the actual firearm as my mould. Is that kind of what you need, or are you looking for a plastic model? Elizabeth Mpls, MN
  10. I scored a batch of tools, and there were some shorter modeling 'tips' that obviously need a holder to be used properly. I have a larger-diameter barrel (yes I need to measure, but it looks about 5mm); I think I need one that will hold 2 - 4 mm tips. The barrel that these would fit in have a tip that is 'frozen' into it from lack of use. Sigh. I could also use a smaller barrel that has a screw in the side to help secure the tip. Appreciative of any leads, possibilities, and commiserations, Elizabeth Mpls, MN
