oooh very nice! Do want... not sure for what, but it's scarcely important

Some more work on this, the schrader was slightly crooked and annoying the heck out of me so I drilled it out and installed a new one - needs a bit of cleaning up once the epoxy cures but aligned at least.
I also made a new collar out of brass and extended the dimple pattern but to be honest it's not that attractive, I might just have overdone it. A plain ring sounds like a better idea.

The dimply ring is too much I think...
A nice shaped smooth polished collar would look better.

Yep, definitely. I'll keep it as an "Ah, look, I was up all night making you this ring" emergency giftLabtecpower wrote:A nice shaped smooth polished collar would look better.
In this case it's past my bedtime so it has plenty of time to cure before I have time to do more on it tomorrow after work. Unlike some people *cough cough hint hint cough cough* I have a day job and don't get to tinker from 9 till 5USGF wrote:What happened to the silver solder!!! I hate waiting for epoxy...

Again I would go for something smooth and polishedYep, definitely. I'll keep it as an "Ah, look, I was up all night making you this ring" emergency gift
I'll think of you when I wake up at 10.30*cough cough hint hint cough cough*

That was meant for USGF who earns a living commanding an army of CNC slavesI'll think of you when I wake up at 10.30
I never wake up that late, work or weekend, unless I've had a particularly heavy night and got home at 6 in the morning...Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2011 6:45 pm

Definitely over did that ring. Looks like it has anti mumps. Plain brass would be best, I think.

the only reason I go on about it here is that there are so many things I wish I was told when I was younger, it would have made life easier

Yes, plain brass looks like a better deal, though I might inlay some aluminium to make it interesting.
In terms of decoration I was talking to jakethebeast and he mentioned etching, definitely something I want to look into, especially as I have access to pretty much any acid I want

I have a couple of litres in the lab, and a couple of drums in the plant, but it seems that I won't have to resort to anything that violentUSGF wrote:Very dangerous that Nitric acid.

Jack, if you want to get rid of the nitric acid (or any other), let myself and SB know, we'll happily relieve you of it.
Nice work, if the ring makes triggering it easier, then it's perfect, function over form and all.
(Speaking of acids, I just managed to spill some 70% H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> on heating apparatus.Hot heating apparatus of course. Improvising miniature glassware from Pasteur pipettes requires better glassworking skills.)

No, that's the problem with making things pretty! The issue here is that I deliberately went for aesthetic features. Been reading up on etching though, it seems like I can do it easily, watch this spaceNice work, if the ring makes triggering it easier, then it's perfect, function over form and all.
Only 70%? pfft.(Speaking of acids, I just managed to spill some 70% H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> on heating apparatus.Hot heating apparatus of course. Improvising miniature glassware from Pasteur pipettes requires better glassworking skills.)
I might have some spare weird glassware on the market...
