  1. Keyboards are a great tool for exercising your dexterity…unless like me you type using only one finger.
  2. Awake at five or six am I am every morning, even though its been seven years since I retired.
  3. The OP is looking for new blades, not handles, I assume the blade he has is worn out. I suggest he contact Tamia to see if the 74160 blades will fit his existing handle. If not then…yeah he needs a new handle or a different brand of scriber.
  4. The suggestion for epoxy or watch crystal cement sound good for a painted surface. I try to pin tiny parts before painting….if I remember to. You could practice all these techniques by attaching bits of sprue to a scrap body or something to see which works best for you.
  5. There is careless and then there is completely stupid…🙄 I was thinking about it last night and came up with the same idea using aluminum. It is top of my to do list when I get home later this week.
  6. Dodge stupidbee.
  7. I really like these sawblades. They make a nice aluminum handle for them, but I just trimmed the shank a touch so they would fit a regular exacto handle. They are like a photo etch blade but far more sturdy.
  8. Yeah, this mitre box has slots that are too wide for my liking. I use it a lot with my razor saw, but have to hold the saw flush to one side or I get a slightly crooked cut.😕 I’ve been meaning to modify it somehow but just never got around to it yet.
  9. Looks to me like they have them?
  10. Week one of the rest of my life started on Sunday.
  11. Up, up and away in my beautiful balloon.
  12. Those “industrial accidents” were not created by the Dremel. They were created by careless operators. The tools function is entirely predictable. I have had minor injuries over the years and I don’t blame the tools. Edit: Lack of proper PPE falls under “careless operators”.
  13. Queue the music!
  14. Yes beautiful paintwork Luke! And so prolific…do you have a conveyor belt running through your paint booth?
  15. That’s cheating!😳
  16. I-pad my expense account.😬
  17. Also, since most rotary tools don’t have an awful lot of torque, multiple light passes are usually better than trying to take too much material out in one pass.
  18. Game of Thrones was a great series to watch.
  19. Cool!😎 This is what the google translate on my iPhone gave me.
  20. The razor saw I mostly use for making square cuts on Evergreen stock in a mitre box. It could be used for long straight cuts like a chop or section job, but I prefer to score the line with a panel scriber then finish the cut with a photo etch saw. The dremel hopefully has a low enough speed that it will not melt the plastic. The abrasive discs I believe will just clog up. For cutting you may need something like saw blades. I mostly use my rotary tool with sanding drums and burrs for shaping. You can always practice on a scrap body especially with the dremel. A slip up with it can quickly do a lot of damage…and not just to the plastic.😬
  21. Likely built by a kid that surmised exhaust is hot so it should be red.
  22. Whiney people usually don’t have anything to whine about.
  23. The squirrels could have returned it when you weren’t looking. They like to mess with you that way….believe me I know!🙄 I think you have that stance looking real good on this one Jim!😎
  24. I like to cover the glass inside and out with a wide piece of Tamiya tape. Trim the tape then fit the glass. You can trace the opening onto the tape from the outside with a fineline pen or pencil to see how much excess could possibly be trimmed. The tape also keeps it from getting scuffed during the fitting process.
