CFM Frodo Posted December 12, 2022 CFM Report Posted December 12, 2022 I thought this might help others 1 1/4” (6.35 mm) Brass nut lead the nut can be easily found on any old faucet I use this as a small anvil to set rivets or snaps in tight spots. It can be laid flat or stood on its edge Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles Stand your ass up during the National Anthem
Members Klara Posted December 12, 2022 Members Report Posted December 12, 2022 Do I understand correctly that you have poured molten lead into the nut? I like the idea (got the lead when I had new tyres mounted and balanced), but what did you use as bottom to the nut so the lead would not leak out? Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted December 12, 2022 CFM Report Posted December 12, 2022 very cool idea!!!!!!
