    Cellphone service advice

    Just thought I would give an update on my cell phone journey. I tried a few a couple of phone calls to Rogers, ( 2hours of my life I’ll never get back). One that had no clue what they were doing and another that just kept reading the offers from the website. Then I went to the store. The girl...

    Collets

    @Mcgyver That’s a lot of good info. That is a really good deal on those collets. It’s a little out of my budget right now, but I’ll have to try and come up with some disposable cash.

    Collets

    Yes it does. Unfortunately the draw bar threads are striped, which means I need to find the time to make a new one. I don’t have a full set of collets, so I use my ER32 the most. So it doesn’t land high on the priority list.

    Collets

    My 10“SM Utilathe came with 4c collets, which are very hard to source. And when you do, they are expensive. They fit, with an adapter, right into the MT4 spindle.

    Bronze question

    Thanks. A little beyond me, but I will give it a read. A quick look and it appears it might be better for my purposes, than the phosphor bronze. I’m really after the “gold“ look. But it is very tricky to bend the thin ph bronze. Needs to be heated so it won’t crack.

    Bronze question

    Thats what I’m hoping to compare. I want it to take a long time, as I don’t want the pens to tarnish to quickly. I’m curious about the comparison.

    Bronze question

    I didn‘t know that about the the C63000. It turned very similar to the Phosphor `bronze im using. The yellow brass I have (unk alloy) turned more like dust. I made three pieces, polished and rubbed with Rennaisance Wax. I’ll try to take a picture each week, and see how the patinas develop. I...

    Bronze question

    This is also a little follow up from the Thread 'Brass $5 pound' https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/brass-5-pound.11284/ I was looking at the second rod I have, and found a readable marking. C63000 Which leads me to believe it is Nicle-Aliuminum Bronze rather than brass. I use...
