The third gen wasn't available when I ordered, and just looking at it, you are right it is a step backward. I have used mine with a #80 wire drill, and any number of 3/32 and 1/8th drills, Dremel cutters, and jewelers cutters (which are usually 3/32 shanks).

While I have been recuperating from being burned in the can, I have not had the gumption to go work on a model. I just had enough energy to "think" about it, which is where I sometimes get great ideas or big disasters. In this case it was a great idea. Sunday night I went in and started in on...

Looking good Tim! Umm, T-80? as in Russian?

@Sharkmouth Saúl, My Dspiae Pin vice has a built in 0 to 1/8+ three jaw chuck built in. No searching for chucks or even changing them out. It isn't the thin skinny one you have pictured. It works perfectly and runs true no matter the size of the drill shank. I have a number of pin vices...

Should have used toilet paper rolls Gary. (joking)

The treatment is done over a week ago. They told my the next 2 weeks were going to be worse. At this point I am just waiting for the breakdown to finish and for healing to start. It wouldn't be so bad if the nearly 3 inch open sore spot weren't right where I sit. I did figure out that if I...

That really is unique Terry! Thanks for posting the photos. For quick stuff I use an ancient photo viewing program called Firehand Ember. It was made by a fellow in Tulsa OK back in the 90's and works the best I have found for looking through batches of photos. It also has a feature that when...

Have one and am looking forward to starting my Soc Sec. which I hope is enough to start doing massive pay down on this house. Not sure how much it will be and not sure how taxes will hit me, but it will be a wait and see.

I went to Harbor Freight and bought a 5500 lumen shop light. Hung it from under the shelf bridge that I built and it lights up the whole room. I have a small LED that is in the paint booth and some LED desk lamps on the desk where the lathe and mill are, but the main light does the most.

Unlike some folks, when I post on his threads he usually posts back. As I said, I am trying to get him to post here. I think if he just once joined in he would enjoy the group we have here a lot, especially with the talented folks here. Hope you didn't mind my doing a slight hihack on your...

Well, the spirit was willing, but the body needed a LOT more sleep. Still recovering from the stupid rad treatment and my keaster has a BIG sore spot. Set the alarm for 8:00, woke up, got up for about 5 minutes and went "nope not happenin' today" and went back to bed. Just woke up and got up...

A while back I bought some RESKIT stuff for my helicopters that is super well done. I would say that probably all of their offerings are top notch. While I did see some stepping on very shallow angles (almost flat) parts, those should be easy to deal with, otherwise everything was super crisp...

Manfred had a number of planes that he would fly at any one time it seems.

That squirrel cage reminds me of the PILE of dead leaves I found behind the fender on my Sienna back when I was replacing it from the deer damage. Have no real idea how they got in there, but they had been in there for a while.

That is looking really good Chris!
