Aloha ,
Very good Tutoring Viewing there.
I have tried doing that also but when putting the .....Jewel On .... I made a little Jig that I ground down that looks like
a ...Half Tuning Fork Bar that I place on the ... Jewel to make sure it .... >> Sits Level when pressed down.
Looks like as I said .... >> Tuning Fork Ground Down on one side so when it is placed ... >>On The Jewel it is not .....
Lop Sided on the Holder.
It was just a Straight Bar Stock but ... >> Notched at One End with the Dremel to fit .
Example : Grind out ..... >> Half Of a Little Bar Stock I had so it fits ...... The Balance Notch good while on
The Metal Plate Base ..... >> [---______________], and ..... Pressing The Jewel Solid and Level.
I also made a Bar that is held on the Plate Like that is mounted to the plate holes to ..... >>Hold the Pallet so it
does not Bend when ... The Jewel is being ..... Pressed Onto It.
I do not or will not ... Use the Screw Driver to press the Jewel on, but I made a ...... tool that has... Slanted Cut that fit the
Jewel to hold it firm and then press it on. A Small Bar with a Slanted Cut to hold the Jewel in place then press
it on against the Metal Block holding the Pallet ...... >> [__l\_] . ( Flip the Tool over to place .... The Other Jewels on. )
( The Made Tool looks Like This .... Chunk Of Square Little Block Of Metal with two .... Drilled Holes and
..... Two Pins pressed in it to drop into the Holes on the Plate then it can be removed if wanted. I just left it in there
with a solid fit. ( It works as a ...Good Back and holds it firm. )
I made a ... Jig Set up like yours but every thing is mounted as ... One Device and sits on the Desk or Shelf if needed.
I always like to be sure .... >> The Jewel Was Level and intact before I melted the ... >> Shellac Chip Solid.
My Motto is :
When I do things .... " Do them Good the First Time so they work good, or Do a Good Job from the First Try,
....... Then really try to be better doing things.
___________________________
At I first had some fun doing the .....>> Shellac Chips when I learned it was done like that then as I went on with
a couple of them I got better with it.
My first mistake with starting to do repairs of these was I put them into .... >> The Cleaner and did not realize
it dissolved .... >> The Shellac.
You know when you first start you mess up quite a bit in things...
, but eventually one learns a lot but on some doings
it gets costly too. When you clean every thing then notice where is ....>> That Jewel that goes on there you do things
better the next time.
Then I found out that there was a .....>> Tool to do this so I ..... >> Made One For me to use but it is mounted to
a ... >> Metal Clamp Down Jig ... I made on my desk. I also found a ...>> Burner like you have there and it works good too.
Still use it yet and it works good for what I do.
( I love the Challenges I come across doing all this. )
( Just a little explaining what I learned and do for this.)
Aloha
