A cast iron window weight has to be the very lowest grade of material on the planet. Why would anyone risk tearing up a mill or lathe for 50-Cent piece of crap? You can buy good quality CI from most metal suppliers for a couple of bucks. Like some here said there are much better places to...

I was just looking around on line and found that Google has a on line book section. In that massive selection of online books I found the Model Engineer's Handybook. A great book to look through. Here is a link to it. Check it out. Mel...

I've made a couple of sparkplugs using bolt of the proper thread and piece of "corian" for the insulator and I think they are going to work. I don't think there is a need to add an extended electrode. ??? Mel

I bought two buzz coils (Model "T" FORD) on eBay a while back and have had a ball playing with them. By setting up the test stand shown on that web page I was able to produce a 3/4" spark that I sure wouldn't want to touch. The Ford model T had 4 of these, one for each cylinder. Mel

Wow! That is tough! I can't imagine going through three weeks with out power. We just had a 36 hour power outage and I thought it was bad. And I had a generator to help out with keeping the fridge and freezer and heat going. Three weeks will put a huge strain on the toughest of those folks. I...

John, thanks for the Youtube link.. What rpm was you working at? The video seems like it's pretty fast. Not knowing much about turning I think mabe most of my turning is too slow. Thanks Mel

Darn Marv, until you came up with that scientific answer, I thought I might need one of cute tear drooped little tips, but you just blew that out of the water. :o I guess I don't need one now. Thanks ;D Mel

John, what is the significance of the tear drop shaped point? I have never seen one like that. But then I have a little DTI, looks similar to yours and it came with a whole collection of tips and I don't know what they do either. ;D It is funny how sometimes you can get better results by going...
