Yes, it might just happen to be another SP Nixie clock Nick LOL, I was thinking model railway enthusiasts as I get quite a few parts from model steam engine suppliers, bushes / glands etc.
My workshop consists of a spare bedroom in the house (warmer than the garage) and I don't have many 'large' tools, but I do have a drill press, but don't see how I can use that to turn brass? kind of like a vertical lathe? The chuck only opens up to 13mm so I wouldn't be able to make what I need, but intrigued as to how you manage? If I had the room, I might get a small engineering lathe, but it would probably sit there 95% of the time gathering dust, so best to sub out the work. I did find someone on eBay offering CNC turning at £6 / hour plus materials so I told them what I want, but not heard anything back. I would like to keep the work in the UK, as I would like to think we still can make a 15mm Dia spacer for a reasonable cost in this country :) Besides which it would probably take weeks to get anything in from China. I will let you know if this eBay company comes back. Cheers, Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
