    PTD Silver & Deming drill set, $25, Lambton Shores, ON

    Shoot. :confused: I'm always a little torn, posting stuff listed for really, really low prices (that set is~$475 at KBC). It's great if somebody can nab it. But it tends to be listed for hours, not days. Better to choose optimism?

    Refining/reclaiming gold for inlay question

    Average yellow gold is, as Paul noted, a given gold content out of 24 parts, with the remainder typically being silver and copper. So the 10k is only a little over 40% gold. 10k is much, much harder than 22-24k, and would be a bear to inlay (you’d be fighting the spring back). Other colours of...

    :) Also, I really like this hold-down mechanism. Maybe everyone else has seen it, but it beats the hell out of threaded holes. Three captive balls, knurled cap drives a screw/wedge down and pushes them outwards. The interior/under side of the holes in the table are machined, so the holes are...
