Hi Martin When I last had some glass cut the guy sprayed some sort of lube on the sheet before cutting.

When I have tried it I found a new wheel cuts better than an old one. Have a look at sites that cover stained glass cutting as a hobby might have useful info.

You could try making a Pot Chuck **LINK** I recently made one for a 3/4 OD x 1/8 cylinder end cover which needed a boss on one face and recess on the other.

While searching fleabay for cine to DVD transfer I came across this U-tube link for a demo transfer

It looks like it was originally filmed in 1967. Check 20 secs in.

Hello this is my first post.

I have just started the hobby after lurking around model exhibitions for several years . I have started with making the Tubal Cain Polly and am part way through Wenceslas from the same book. Using these small engines to relearn metal work and machining after leaving the engineering trade some 40+ years ago.

Back when I was an apprentice one of the jobs we were given was to remove broken taps and drills from nearly finished parts. This was done on a spark erosion machine. It was a bit like a mini arc welder where the spark would jump from the tip to the broken tool and slowly eat it away.

If you do a search for "spark eroder" on this forum there is some info plus a link to a company who offer a service. Just depends on how much they would charge against the cost of remaking the part.
