I really like your sketch and the beginning of the project that you have shared.

Wow. I go away Friday morning for a weekend at a Retreat center and come back to this. You do amazing design and production work.

I appreciate Bill and others like RockyAussie sharing the files. I don't own a 3d printer yet, so I gratefully store the files for the future.

did you have to have the roller remilled?

Not sure if this company would have one, but you could contact them. http://www.belltype.com/index.html https://www.slehotprinters.com/

thank you for sharing.

Thank you

Would you mind linking a picture of the 1/2" drill chuck you got for Arbor Press?

Very nice. What a thoughtful gift for your friend, that will become a family heirloom.

Very nice. Looking good. Do you mind sharing what the hot "washing soda solution" consists of? It did a very nice job cleaning up some very gummed up parts. Thanks

Would you please post a link to the YT videos showing the sharpening board for sharpening edge bevellers? Also would you please post pics of your sharpening board. Thanks

Beautiful. So lifelike

Nice

I like the color and the closing clasp

That's very clever. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Folker for sharing these pictures. It is a pity when so many buildings are torn down and not revitalized.

Beautiful work.

Thank you.

You might try some counter top manufacturers. The sink cut's out are usually smaller. Sometimes when they cut off edges they are a few inches wide and various lengths and are free scraps. They don't have perfect sides but I find they work well for stamping, etc. in leather working and don't weigh as much. Might be something you could find and the weight wouldn't be to heavy for the two wheeled camp carts for hauling to the area you are working in from the parking lot.

Looks good, what type of foam did you use between the layers?

Thank you for all the time and effort and the generosity of sharing your experiences and knowledge.

I had some very stuck parts on a Pfaff 145 I've been restoring as I find parts. I used PB Blaster, time, and some heat to get the parts to finally loosen up enough to get them apart without damaging them. I would apply the PB Blaster let it sit for a while then apply some heat (from a blow (hair) dryer and later a paint stripper gun set on low) gently try and pry up the stuck piece and repeat. Over time the parts came apart as the PB Blaster worked farther and farther between the stuck parts. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Blaster-11-oz-The-Original-PB-Penetrant-16-PB/205178591 https://www.amazon.com/Blaster-16-PB-Penetrating-Catalyst-11-Ounces/dp/B000I2079E some quick info.

Very beautiful. What a majestic pair.

That's beautiful.

I love your video's and all the information that you share. Not sure that I'll ever be doing more production type of work. I do love all the ways that you create what you need or ways to improve the process and the production process. Then I do love hardware stores and go on many bunny trails when I am in them. My Dad looks at ways to make what he needs from common products, etc.
