Then, a few years ago I found a model of the Gutenberg printing press (now completed). That was certainly the most unusual mode I have ever built :-) >On May 26, 3:47 pm, Larry Green <larry.gr...@nospam.sympatico.ca> >wrote: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >(now completed).

I'll take some and post on my web site. It was a kit. Never heard of the brand before- it was advertised in a mail order puzzle catalog. I suspect the company may have been one catering to miniatures market (doll house furniture and such). >On May 27, 4:23 pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <1180281067.920384.259...@m36g2000hse.googlegroups.com>, Don [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >suspect the company may have been one catering to miniatures market >(doll house furniture and such). thanks Larry, Thanks for sharing that.

Cool stuff; makes me miss woodworking! I never carved that small though. --Stephen And we call ourselves modelbuilders? Does anyone remember a news clip many years ago about a man who engraved entire scenes on the head of a straight pin? No joke. Worked under a microscope and the engraving strokes were so delicate and so precise that the man had actually learned to control his heartbeat. Each engraving stroke was made between heartbeats. Had to be that way because the vibration caused by the heartbeat would cause him to damage the engraving.

I had thought about how neat a modeling tool that would be, but those were big buck tools. I wonder if they could be cheapened if production rate got high enough :-) > Richard Marmo said the following on 31/05/07 07:33: > > "Larry Green" <larry.green@nospam.sympatico.ca> wrote in message [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Richard. Yup...we suck... Signature- Rufus There's a guy in my club that engraves/scribes his own instrument faces in 1/48 and 1/72 scales...including the numbers on them. He uses white plastic coated with India ink, and scribes through using a compass point. If you look at them with a magnifiying glass you can read them...no joke. Yeah...we suck...
