31/03/2014 07:43:09

Some of the Dormer drills I have are made in Brazil.

I would try a fluteless tap

Thread: Milling ceramic tiles - socket cutouts etc

I used a rotozip tool in a Dremel.

I made a guide from plywood with a square hole in it (the size of the box plus half the width of the end of the Dremel)

Worked very well.

Thread: forming a thread on piano wire

Any kind of heat treatment of piano wire will irreversibly change its properties.

The only way (IMHO) to make a thread in piano wire is spark erosion.

Thread: Local Clubs, and where to find them?

If we can get say 10 people interested, I would be willing to approach GMES about using the clubhouse for a Saturday or Sunday. And there is a possible speaker, who lives not far from there....

Jo

I'm in, that leaves 6.

Sorry to harp on about this but this is where the internet scores, I see a question on a group and want to post the answer. I don't have to post it between 7:0 and 8:30 when a club is open. I can post it when it suits me.

I don't think anyone could argue with that, but there's nothing like seeing people's creations in the flesh.

It's one of the things that I look forward to seeing at the shows.

Rather than starting a "club", why not something like our Sothern Counties Traction Engine Group? We rent a village hall three times a year and get together for a chat, bring along work in progress and have a guest speaker.

I am sure one of the ME clubs would let us use their clubhouse for an initial meeting to see if there was sufficient local interest.

Jo

I'd go for that, good idea!

I had hoped that my demo at the last GMES rally would have attracted new members to the club: I don't think we got any this year. But I know that the MEM membership rose rapidly around the show

I was impressed with your display at the GMES do, but I can't find the time to get involved with the club at the moment.

Maybe when I retire (hopefully) in 2017 there could be a chance.
