Fabulous Nicole, I'm so pleased you're enjoying the projects! This one is without a doubt my favorite one so far. The best grown-ups toy ever!

2015-08-28 03:52:36 +0000 UTCThank you PJ, your comments make my day :) Definitely still planning a tool grind video, but still figuring out how to shoot it. It will only work if I can get in real close, and that presents some issues for the camera regarding grinding dust. I tried out a simple enclosure, but it messed up the image quality, so still thinking it through. Cheers mate!

Great project for apprentice and masters alike, covers a lot of bases with setups, operations and techniques. Hope you are still considering the tool grinding you use as a video series, really impressive grinds...or maybe do one on Light Saber turning! ~¿@ Till then ~~>PJ

2015-08-28 01:55:40 +0000 UTCI have found a place in Perth, WA that supplies brass stock by the kg. If you cant find it at the machine shops or want something specific they seem to be a good source, <a href="http://www.robertcameron.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.robertcameron.com.au/</a> They told me about $30/kg and they cut to length.
