Be real careful with the 'tiny' ones Harrison, they can break easily AND if you drop them the carpet monster hides them well!

For true! I dropped one of those tiny drill bits into the carpet (the smallest one at that) and given it up for lost. That's when my wife came in with THIS, a Magnetic Pin Holder:

Her pin holder is a little different and the magnets in her version are really strong but you get the idea.

Anyway, she took her pins off the holder, ran it over the carpet for a while and VOILA! The little drill bit magically reappeared. It also works for SOME types of photoetch. Eduard's PE is magnetic, but the Airwaves stuff is not.

great idea....I'm usually on my hands and knees doing a grid search with a torch!.....and cursing!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Know the feeling

 

[B-17engineer]

Well the case is magnetic. Which can be good and bad. Means I have to fight for the drill bit though

 

[lesofprimus]

Ive broken a few of my really small ones as well, so be careful with the small small ones H....

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok, thanks Dan!

 

[B-17engineer]

Did the putty over, sanding it is tricky.

Looking very good Harrison.

ALso I would like to thank you all of you here for these very nice words toward me

 

[Wayne Little]

[B-17engineer]

Thanks Wojtek, I must go to church now, but will be back soon and will have a little time to do some work before baseball.



And I have made a thread, I got a 50 dollar gift certificate to the hobby shop, so if there is anything you think I need, you can list it! Many thanks!

 

[Wurger]

Hi Harrison,

No problem I have rested a little bit so we can continue later. Concerning the purchses in the hobby shop, think about some sandpaper of 900-1500 grades.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sound choice

 

[B-17engineer]

I'm back and ready!

I just found out I have a soccer game at 12:30 though....

 

[Wurger]

Ok. Show me the flap bay of the side please.

 

[B-17engineer]
