Remembrance Plaque

Posted on

Was asked to make a simple remembrance plaque. Client had already written on it how and what they wanted to say on the board.

Remembrance Plaque.

I ummmed’ and I arrrred’ whether to laser engrave template router it, or freehand it etc.
I tried various router bits then settled on using the Rotary Tool (Dremel) with router attachment and a very fine/small engraving bit and freehand traced her writings.

Remembrance Plaque made with the Dremel and Router attachment.

The idea was to keep it looking like it was hand written and hand made. The will now go and paint and sand the text. While I could have done that for them as well. They also wanted to be part of the process in making it.

Fuller Pro

There is “Fuller” and there is “Fuller Pro”. Fuller is classed as cheap and sometimes I say nasty. However “Fuller Pro” is is pretty good, I wouldn’t call it professional gear but it is not cheap and nasty. So if you are buying “Fuller” make sure it is “Fuller Pro” I do have a mix of both…

ToolPRO Outside Micrometer

Posted on

This outside micrometer boasts a measurement range from 0 to 25mm. Measurement can be taken all the way to 0.01 of a millimetre accuracy. Use it for a precise measure of brake rotor thickness – or any flat, cylindrical or spherical objects. Knowing the name of each part will help you understand your micrometer. The frame is the base of the whole tool, with the spindle, and the anvil at the top. The ends of the spindle and anvil form the measuring faces. The sleeve is the part which displays whole and half millimetre measurements. The thimble rotates around this as the spindle moves in and out. On the end is a ratchet and a locking lever sits on the side of the frame. Before taking a measurement, it’s important to clean the measuring faces. Gently close the micrometer on a clean piece of paper, then slowly pull it out.

Now twist the ratchet until the spindle touches the anvil, and the ratchet clicks. The mircrometer should measure zero here, but if this is not the case – lock the spindle firmly in place and use the included wrench to rotate the sleeve until the zero lines up. Now that it’s cleaned and zero’d, it’s time to take a measurement. Place the item to be measured in the frame of the tool and rotate the thimble until the spindle nears the surface to be measured. Now use the ratchet to close the spindle in until the ratchet clicks. At this point, you can take the measurement – or lock the spindle, remove the micrometer and then read the measurement. The top row of markings on the sleeve are whole millimetres, the bottom row are half millimetres – and the markings on the thimble are one hundredth of a millimeter. To determine an accurate reading, take the number of whole millimetres, add the half millimetre if applicable – then add the number on the spindle. Place a drop of machine oil on the spindle once in a while, keep it safe from knocks in the nifty little storage case – and your ToolPRO Outside Micrometer will deliver accurate measurement for years to come.

Note From Nighthawk this is a very cheap small Outside Micrometer, and to be fair while it is okay for what I use it for I would not use it for absolute accuracy etc.
