  7. Hi, My wife just gave me an idea, for marker Barry King stamps. I have a some but can't remember if its a 1, 2, 3 etc. when ordering a different size. She gave me 10 bottles of finger nail polish and a sample card with 10 colored spots number 1-10. Now, when I receive my order I marker that stamp with the right color. Thought is might help someone else. Have a great and safe day, Howard
  8. Frodo, They do make a nice weight. I have a piece 4" long with leather on the bottom, and I zip tied a work clap light to the top. I move around when I am tooling, or need a little extra light. At age 77, my eyes need all the help they can get. I would like to get a couple more for the shop. Have a great day. Howard

    Hand press

    HI, I forgot about is post. At 76, I do that a lot. I setup my arbor press like the following. Used a steel plate 3/8 x 6 x 6 to make a table on the press. I also pined the plate using the small hole in the press. Than used a 6x6 cutting board, used a scroll saw to cut the hole for the die base. I than used roll pins in the four corner of the to hold it in place on the plate, no movement. For the ram, I took the die handle and cut it to 2" long. Drilled a hole in the end of the ram, installed a set screw. I like this setup. I hope this will help. Howard

    Hand press

    Hi, all I hope everyone is coping with the STAY AT HOME! Today I modifier my HF arbor press for Buckleguy rivets, snaps. I like his hardware, but I didn't buy his press. I use my HF press for a lot of things. My shop is small, and no place for single use equipment. I would put pictures, but aways have bad luck using my flip-phone. I tested it out and I am happy with it, made a few things using there snap setter. Howard

  14. Hi, all Last night I cut out billet patterns out of red oak on a scroll saw , 2 each. Than I double sided taped leather between them. The leather was very slightly larger than the pattern. Installed a pattern bit in my rotor table, Turned the speedup high, and trimmed the leather. Came out nice with flat edges, now I will use my good leather to see how it comes out. Howard
