pegasus bridge Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Does anyone do any metal lathe work ? I’m looking for an adaptor for a folding fishing net. Can’t find one off the shelf (which is weird as the web is littered with posts of people looking for the same thing 🤔) I need 3/8 BSF one end (Male) to a 12mm female the other , and vice versa 12mm Male to 3/8 BSF the other . Something like this (but with 3/8 bsf ) can anyone make these ? How much would I be looking at ? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought brass more suitable, Well, call me obsessive, but I thought that I had some brass too. It turned out to be a pinkish metal which didn't machine like brass, so may be bronze. Anyway, it's a bit rough finished because I am getting it in the post today. You have a choice, Glyn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep posting like this and you will be getting a visit from those nice men from London. 😂 How do you extract pure Balonyium 234? Does it require large quantities of horse manure?

Benthejockey Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Imagine a Ditchman space shuttle, built sturdier than a land rover without the oil leaks, polished antler door handles, scaled down workshop, capable of multiple reentries, a trip down the shops or an afternoon pigeon shooting on the stubble. Only to be piloted wearing a smoking jacket, slippers whilst drinking a flagon of wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
