They could shape the brad point perfectly on a diamond wheel and as much as I watched I was never able to grasp the technique.

thank you! if i had a drill press this would be easy work. unfortunately i’ve just got a cordless drill, and steady hands. i couldn’t imagine what goes into making drill bits, but i do have a knack for burning them up lol.
im working on the cylinder rods now, brass tube over steel wire, they’re coming along, but it’s been a lot of trial and error.
