You can order it from a place like the metalsupermarket, or in my case, call your friend Stan who has all sorts of off-cuts like this:) <br /><br />cheers,<br />konradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-3000896028935775332016-01-29T09:27:36.206-05:002016-01-29T09:27:36.206-05:00Do you get your bronze for the cap in bar form? an...Do you get your bronze for the cap in bar form? and if so, where?<br />KevinKevin Brehonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036860598894953939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-17852129569101930492016-01-26T22:45:30.715-05:002016-01-26T22:45:30.715-05:00Thanks Mike,

Nice to see a familiar name, and now I know who the maddog really is:)<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the post and that it was worth posting in addition to IG. IG is pretty new to me, and I am still adjusting to the speed of light response times.<br /><br />Thanks too for the kind words and glad that feeling from HandWorks is still there. It is a tough one to shake... look what happened to me:)<br /><br />best wishes,<br />konradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-75736202429346868002016-01-26T15:14:33.967-05:002016-01-26T15:14:33.967-05:00IG just doesn't do this process justice.

This should confirm why hand work is so important and machines have no sole.<br /><br />Attempting to draw out the shape in a CAD program then setting up the CNC machine to make the various cuts would have taken far longer and I would suggest the results would not have been as nice. <br /><br />Every woodworker should experience the thrill of effortlessly pushing a S&S custom hand made plane across a piece of ill behaved exotic wood. The sensation is so intoxicating you just might think it's illegal. <br /><br />Now my mind is consumed by thoughts of selling as many tools/body parts/etc. as possible just to get my name on the list of lucky owners. BTW, this feeling is still with me from Handworks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271496144971996851noreply@blogger.com
