That's very good Michael. Just to clarify, are you suggesting to use the camera as a centre finder or as an alternative to a loupe?

David

Thanks Howard, your assumptions were correct, or if not correct, then they were allowed for. 

Thank you.

Hello Emgee,

Thank you. That was a bit of a headslap moment for me! I ought to have seen that.

David

Thank you Martin,

I haven't seen that before.

Hello Steve, Yes, one of those was my other thought as an alternative to a microscope.

David

Thank you Michael, I hadn't thought of a web cam. I'll have a think about how I could mount it.

Has anyone any tips or ideas for centering a gear cutter please. I'm trying to cut a 7 leaf pinion and the variation of only a few thou' seems to make a huge difference. I'm thinking of making a centering microscope but if there's an easier way I wold love to know

Many Thanks, David

Hello Iain, I have a Seig lathe and a mill from Arc so any questions just ask

David

I've used industrial steadies and some tend to have roller bearings. Should reduce marking a lot but not sure if it would eliminate it.

Thank you Michael,

Fascinating. I've been amazed by the Antikythera Mechanism for a long time.

Well, I've performed magic a few times on radio but Model Making?

I'm still struggling with Fig: 44. I've no idea how that was done! Very clever.

David

Astonishing.

Hello Andy from another Lancashire lad

I loved my Velocettes however! This is a photo of me at 18 on my first Velo. I painted the frame metallic powder blue. The tank was sprayed pillar box red with white signwriting. The seat was upholstered in a padded white materiel with red piping. The bike was finished with a Cibié headlight clip on's and rear sets. I'm now taking cover before the purists attack.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas
