Deadman Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) The investment in equipment time and material to learn how to cast can be a bit much to cast just one thing the guides at smooth on did help even though I do it use their products .

Deadman Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Hey guys a bit of an update on the handles I currently have about half of the sets cast weather is minus 20 F/ -28C so milling the handles for holes is on hold until next Wednesday.

Duckling Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Cold temp is a hazard, 'my' handles get done when you're ready so easy going DM. Cheers Gus - - - -
Deadman Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Turns out that my brother calling me a wimp is motivational Here are a few pics of what got done the screws are mill spec and cost the same as Stainless Steel screws from the hardware store. a nice touch for those of you making replicas. Taping threads the finished handles (white) with proper Mil spec screws countersunk. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Deadman Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I had many great comments on the knobs i have sold in the past. Many of the purchasers regreted that they did not ask for the knobs to be drilled and pay a little extra. Well on these handels I have desided to sell complete handels with the approiate rods attached with the corect milspec screws.taking all of the hassel out of mounting these. Here is a pic of the finished Emergency handel with its aluminum rod. the other two handels will be finished shortly.So all of the handels will be ready to install Edited March 6, 2014 by Deadman https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
