Rats, I was thinking about this whole hot fuchsia thing and decided to go with a warm lavender instead but I guess it's too late for that now huh!
Have you considered a saffron yellow or robin egg blue? I hear they go great in the "new age" MANS work shop.......
:biggrin:

Nah, I already painted all my er-32 collets robin egg blue and of course all my tool holders for my metal lathe are saffron yellow. I was looking for something to liven up and add a splash of color to my somewhat dreary shop!Have you considered a saffron yellow or robin egg blue?

OK, seriously - was there an estimated delivery time?
I need to install an A/C in my garage so I can even go out there and use them...maybe I have time to get that done before they arrive.

....... Your letting the arrival of a few small tools dictate whether or not you start on the installation of your air shop conditioner?........Really? I've got to be missing something here.:biggrin:You live in the Houston area and don't already have an A/C in your shop?

He is either very hot natured or fried a few brain cells working in that hot garage.
:biggrin: Either way I say cut him some slack, he is in Houston in the summer. Just remember he will be gloating in Feb, working in the garage/shop at 65 degrees.
THey are due to be delivered in about 3 weeks. Except for George's which will be lost in the mail.:biggrin:

I've worked in my garage when it was just above freezing too. :biggrin:
I've put off the A/C installation because it involves a COMPLETE re-wire of the entire garage including dropping in a sub-panel directly off the meter, and then insulating the garage (it's a free-standing structure), drywall, new light fixtures, etc... So, no fun, but it needs to get done.
my wife wants to have a workbench for her electronics projects, and my step son wants to turn pens - so it sounds like I have 2 volunteers to help me get it going.
my garage door also faces directly west and gets NO shade - so by the time I get home in the afternoon, I might as well have my lathe up in the attic, it would probably be cooler up there than in the garage.

14mm tap square size
Mike:
Do you happen to know what is the square size on the 14mm tap? I am getting custom tailstock tap holder and want to make sure it can fit.

No I dont. I can ask. I mount a drill chuck in the tailstock and put the tap in that. The tailstock is left just loose enough to slide back and forth as I tap the material.I have submitted your request.
Their reply "
If it is a standard 6H class, standard coarse, or standard fine thread, then the size of the square is 0.3220 "

They are in transit to me.They tagged my card last friday so Im hoping tomorrow or thursday latest for their arrival. I will send them back out after I've tried each and every one of them to make sure they work. I would'nt want to ship any of you guys a defective set! OF course I only make a dozen pens a year so that may take a few years to get them all approved and shipped back out.:bulgy-eyes:

I'm OK with that as long as you send the pen along with the tap and die. One of your all wood pens would be fine by me. :biggrin:

I'm okay with that as long as you don't start using titanium!
the Ups man delivered a 17lb baby box of taps and dies this afternoon. I have the orders sorted and will start boxing and sending them out tomorrow. IF yours is one of the orders that is overseas or in a third world country like Canada (or Arizona) I will get yours out starting Friday.
