prototype
our, just trying to give credit to a few canal gentlemen who have taken me under their wing with some advice. the one pictured is made from 1 1/8" dia. natural color nylon. time to machine is aprox. a few minutes to form the shape. this is done with a pc. of hardened tool steel blade on a metal cutting lathe. the form tool is feed into the work pc. using the cross slide to a dial reading. when correct dia. is obtained the dial is set and the process is easy. have been trying some pvc (grey in color)
