    Need help with my lathe

    Hi Las3r, you have to set the job up before you cut it. You really need at least a magnetic stand and a dial gauge to make sure the work is parallel with your chuck (the chuck should be straight - 'should'). Setting up the job can take longer than cutting it. Also be aware the point of your...

    Ordered a Mill, now question on a good, non top-of-the-line vise & other tooling

    Re: Ordered a Mill, now question on a good, non top-of-the-line vise Hi BVH, beware once you start on the slippery slope of buying tools you will spend more on that than on torches! Ebay like some of the other guys said is a great source and you can pick up some excellent bargains but beware...

    Tritium zip pull..

    Hi Dizos, to be perfectly honest I just wanted to leave this be but it seems that is not to be the case. I will not be bullied. I enjoy designing products and will continue to do so - is that ok? I have had at least 10 different people email me asking a variety of probing questions, presumably...

    Tritium zip pull..

    Wow! What can I say. That is a crazy story. Apologies for using a name Toby originally used. I thought it was a general term and had no idea that it would create such a storm or cause offense - I say that from a personal point of view, legally anyone can use that term. Thanks for you thoughts...

    Tritium zip pull..

    Hi Toby, I asked you privately to provide me with details of your intellectual property infringement allegations and you did not. Making false allegations like you have done in this thread i.e. 'I have a patent' when you don't is actually against the law. If you really want to take that line of...

    Tritium zip pull..

    Hi Borealis, many thanks for your reply. I sincerely appreciate your thoughts and comments even if mine differ. My thoughts disagree based on intellectual property law, not my personal opinion. My 'zip pull' is my own design, I put up the design for comment and feedback, not marketing and sale...

    Tritium zip pull..

    Borealis: Well I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you on all of those counts! If people think I simply copied another product why would they be interested in my design if it that's all it was? As I said at the beginning of this thread I would make further details available when I...

    Tritium zip pull..

    Guys, I worked on my own design and developed it myself. I did not copy Toby's design. My 'bead bomb' is quite a bit different to Toby's. It is a progression from a number of models. When finished I will post it up and you can decide for yourselves... cheers, stjohn

    Borealis - thanks for your comments. I climb quite a lot of ice, when doing it you where big gloves, that's the point - it makes it possible to handle your zip. cheers, st.john

    Tritium zip pull..

    Hi Toby, thanks for showing me your design! Your zip pull has only two slots for tritiums that I can see, mine has three. Mine also has some other design features yours does not have apart from being a completely different size and shape (from what I can see). So yes they are both zip pulls and...
