Jesus told me it is the end of a pick gun!!!

[Magic1]

Well done Sir .....

Forgive me! I am confused, did you make this whole part out of a chunk of steel?

[Magic1]

No Sir, only the swinging arm. The needle and needle clamp came from the Klom spare parts kit. The small ball race came from my workshop stock. The arm I just cut and filed to shape. Tapping the bearing hole was exciting, as I wanted a deep tapped hole but not a broken tap. Did I do or say something wrong ?.

No, nothing wrong, I just didn't understand what you were saying! ;)

Always nice to find useful things inside an otherwise unuseful piece of metal.

Nice job .........are we going to see a vid of it openning a lock or 2???

[uklockpicker]

Nice work , looks bigger than a 3volt motor - all you have to do now is build a shell and give her a name / brand name

Holy hell!
