Ball Turner and fixed steady

[RichardM]

Totally stolen idea!




Much too tight to pay Boxford prices, so I had my own fixed steady. the tips are interchangeable, those are PB but I have also made brass and plastic if I need something softer





Nearly run out of Dark Admiralty Grey, soon be Aldi Silver

Lycoming Grey as a substitute?

 

[RichardM]

I have the Aldi Silver already, bought it for painting the XT swinging arm, but it is more like light grey!

Whats the Lycoming out of?

It's Lycoming Grey aircraft enamel paint on a pair of Chrysler big block cylinder heads, the lightest thing on the Jensen they sit in next to the alloy thermostat housing as the rest is cast iron. Oh, there's the cast allloy rocker covers too but they are heavier than twenty pints of Heavy!
