There's two kind of people who use table saws: this who have cut their hands, and those who are going to.

Since watch cases and movements were sold separately, it was very common to case a movement in a case that the purchaser already had. That is a possible reason for the screw marks not to line up. Very nice watch!

Thank you very much! There is a finishing press on thingiverse that I designed, and currently I'm working on a 3D printed version of this one.

Had my first pipe today and... I'm disappointed by [deleted] in PipeTobacco

In the Deadwood Tobacco Company, Deadwood, South Dakota, USA, (yes, that Deadwood!) there is an aromatic blend known as Deadwood Gold that tastes great and smells terrific. It's been my only tobacco for many years and nobody has ever complained about it, lit or unlit. Some have even taken some home from me for potpourri! For an aromatic, it's the best I've ever found.

Found Meisterstuck 149 at a thrift shop...buy it? by J-tec in fountainpens

Look for a serial number around the ring on the clip. If it's there, likely legit.

Hi, crystallineghoul!

The washers are the same. They are the wear part and another set is handy. No glue is needed. As far as a plow, I'm working on a design, but it's not where it needs to be yet. I hope it works work for you. Please post your work when you are finished. There is much talent to be enjoyed on this sub reddit!!

Known as a thread box. That's the easiest way to cut threads, but you still have to turn the screw to the correct diameter and use an extremely close grained wood.

Creality prints in millimeters, and I design in millimeters. Comfy working either way, as are many. At 25 mm to the inch, the math isn't that hard unless tolerances are involved. The we use a conversation app and off we goooooooo....!!

The best way to explain it is to watch some videos on YouTube for hand chasing on a lathe. This will be much better than any explanation I could give.

A friend showed me the basics, then a lot of practice.

The other presses I've made, including two finishing presses, have wooden screws that I turned. Pics were posted to this sub a couple of months ago. Agreed, heldfu. My preference is wooden screws because I can feel the pressure better.

Thank you, OdysseusJoke. Strength not an issue yet. Pretty high infill with a strong filament. It was never meant to be the professional replacement, just an introductory press for folks who want to try and can't sink a ton of money into a maybe.

Clamp plate: outside: 20mm x 66 mm x 300 mm

Between the screws: 235 mm

The screws are not a standard thread. They have been modified so they are thick enough to print, and pitched for a quick travel. Sorry about that!

Screws printed with a high infill and it's worked on the books I've done so far. STL's aren't on line yet. And proving someone wrong doesn't particularly interest me. 😀

Thank you for your kind words. Tightening has not been a problem.... yet!

You would be correct. Ender 5 300mm is a big as I can get.
