The Clip Part 2
Thank you for the lovely compliments, makes me wanna go make another or play the lottery or something
I normally would have roughed it out on the small bandsaw but it's having a ....well..... lets say a bad hair day. So I cut out a small piece on the big bandsaw and shaped that by hand using a belt sander and a dremel tool. I wrapped some electrical tape around a pair of needlenose to do some of the shaping so I didn't get my fingers too close to the belt.
As an aside, the little brass tube (8mm I think) that they call the transmission activator wasn't long enough in the original kit, so I went down to ace hardware which has a selection of brass, copper, aluminum, etc.... tubing. The wall thickness is a TEENY bit more than the tubes in our pen kits but it worked perfectly and allowed me to finish this without waiting for the mail to deliver a single tube.
