Thank you Wojtek for mentioning this historical statement👏.

Congratulations for a great job in restoring the monument. The time spent on this monument was not in vain. Congratulations once again.

So far it looks like contemporary art😉. Maybe you are exhibiting in a gallery with contemporary art😃. And seriously good job congratulations.

Well, it's starting to look slow. Now sandpaper and solder to level it out. Then putty and more putty😉. You need a Japanese spatula to apply the putty. Water paper 240, 400, 800 you must have Mr. Wojtek🤔 to level the putty. Maybe change your profession to auto body worker 😉 . Of course...

I see a good topic to work on. The worst part is that the leather is coming apart and will need to be reinforced with elastic glue. Have fun with the cap.

Recently I was wondering what these two beautiful French instruments are used for. At first I thought they were used to make threads on the lathe. Browsing through an online store, I found this out by accident. They are files for repairing threads on screws. As you can see on the side markings...

This is what I had in mind. Sometimes it's hidden behind the end of the back cover. I think so🤔 it's like the manufacturer sewing the cover has an angle to the sewing machine. After all, the picklehaube was handmade too 😎.

My question is whether the tip was made that way. Because I don't see it. This is how it should look according to the original. Overall it looks like very good sewing. Congratulations on your hard work.

Congratulations on such a beautiful collection. I hope to see it in person after Easter Once again, congratulations on a beautiful acquisition to your collection.

I use such a mold for straightening the sheet metal of the front cowl and straightening the skin of the front cowl. For the rear one, I have a different mold. Basic straightening tools.

It is a piece of stainless steel. It is cut and formed to the shape of the front cover as a mold for straightening. Rubber hammer for the sheet metal. I will send pictures tomorrow.

All electroplating work was done cold. I know that there is a way to apply zinc to copper using NaOH. This is followed by annealing at about 380-400°C. This gives very poor results. Is that what you meant, or straightening? As for straightening, a flexible sheet ( tempering of the material) was...

Good job 👍. I remove the old threads with a needle and tweezers.

At most, I'll take it if you don't want it. Dimension 1/8 is 28 coils per inch. I own such tools then I can advise something.

There is a similar tool on ebay in the US. Two tips damaged but it is possible to work with this tool. https://www.ebay.pl/itm/256245410545?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=4908-175131-2357-0&ssspo=uc608huOSMG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=mwzpqemqsaw&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE
