I am back working on the 1936 trail lamp stands and the housings and needed a small cutting tip to use in my die grinder. Cleaning up die cast type ZA castings plugs up the cutting edge on rotary grinding tools. I tried a 1/4" tap in my die grinder and it will cut fairly well and we all have old taps just laying around.
Open heart surgery, aneaurisms and stents, sorta slows one down. I have been busy with making all the truck headlight stands for 1937 to 40 Chevys and GMCs. Turned 81 last year, but still try to work 6 1/2 days each week.

Welcome back Coley, I'm finally joining the "Visits to the Doctor Group"...been years since I felt I needed the visit...just turned 73 but finally the prostrate demon has caught up with me! Tough going on trips, heading out to Missouri this May...should be an interesting road trip.
BTW: Welcome Back to vette59jdwl over a year and half?

Hey Coley, that's a good tip, thanks. It's ok to slow down, just don't stop!

Great to have you back Coley! The tail light stand you made for my 33 is still looking good! Keep at it!
