'Mini' lance press

Post by Lloyd »

Just finished a little 1/4-gross 'manual' lance press to augment the FPAG effort for this year's anniversary show.

Sweet lance press Lloyd. Wish I could have gotten away to make it to 2F.

That looks to be a fine bit of engineering, Lloyd.

The lance press may be 'little', but the picture certainly isn't :lol:

Yeah... most of the forums re-size pix to fit, so I hardly ever bother to resize them myself. I forgot this time.

But right click, and 'view image' will give it scaled-down.

I tried to be the good friend and resize, but my resize didn't for well either so maybe after work.

Even better! What a delightful piece of machinery.

I hope you don't mind my occasional teasing - sometimes I just can't stop myself.

But you are right about the forum software; compared with some, it does lack a little sophistication. At the risk of being accused of not letting something go, in the past we have been accused of being the 'cheap seats' of British amateur pyrotechnics. All I can say is that, in my experience, the 'cheap seats' often give you a better view - and they are definitely better value for money!

Nah... I have that same proclivity, myself!

I would never intentionally tease someone I didn't respect.

So, if you get teased by me, you can take it as a compliment - although I'll admit it's a somewhat back-handed one!

Nice tooling Lloyd I like it, regarding picture resizing we are known as the cheap seats, however if I can raise 1,000 dollars we can get that rectified, in the meantime we are stuck on this version of phpBB.
