    Homemade cabbing machine from scrap.

    We cut some glass tube at work with it, but I doubt it had seen use in the last twenty years before that, at least. I think the feed's meant to be the same. We rigged up a weight with some cord to run the tube through.

    Vertical wet bath belt sander - $200 - port perry on

    My next door neighbour runs a glass blowing studio. Consequentially, my furnace doesn't work very hard. If anyone's looking to give it a try, Clayton's a great guy: https://turnstyleglass.com/ (If you come by you can ask me when my lathe's going to be up and running!) We have one of those...

    Homemade cabbing machine from scrap.

    If anyone’s interested, I have a cabbing station and a slab saw looking for a good home. (Edit: Taken!) Came out of a friend’s Dad’s shed. Don’t know anything about them, just couldn’t leave them at the curb for scrap metal.

    Looking for British BA tap/die set, BA 0-10.

    No leads on a decent set, but I have some duplicate taps that will likely never see use. Six 10-BA Thread Well brand taps, made in USA, four 2-BA taps and 3 0-BA taps, those two sizes with a logo with three overlapping triangles, which I don’t recognize. If shipping’s not stupid, happy to...

    Bridgeport Scribe-Master, $150, Innisfil, ON

    I’m not sure it’s a deal, but I’m intrigued. (Though not $150 and a two hour round trip intrigued) https://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-business-industrial/barrie/milling-machine-parts/1709200918 Has anyone here seen one of these in the flesh? Used one? It looks like a stylus on a beam, with...

    Elliott Sturishape Shaper

    I’m always a bit stumped to see machines that have been listed by the owner for months turn up listed by a dealer. The machine clearly didn’t sell at the original price. How likely is it to sell with an additional broker’s fee in the price? Maybe if the owner is willing to let it go for a...

    Mercury

    The only person I know of who's done amalgam gilding in the last few decades is a South African/British guy, Ford Hallam. He focused on traditional Japanese metalwork, as far as I know just sword fittings (guards, etc.). He passed away last year, unfortunately. If anyone's interested, there's a...

    Mercury

    I’ve run into a few antique light fixtures (usually 19c. French) through work that I’m pretty certain were amalgam plated. Mix the mercury and gold, smear the paste that results onto a surface, boil off the mercury. Gives a really fantastic finish, looks like solid gold, nothing like electroplating.
