    No luck so far Oliver. Your shop is the best representation I've seen so far.

    I do not, but will see if I can find one. I finally finished my trial and got back to hatting last night. Finished a sweatband replacement for a very patient fellow lounger (thanks DW), and will probably try to finish another hat for a long suffering FL colleague tonight if I feel ambitious...

    You got a great deal too Dogman. I agree Alan & Olė, which is why I didn't really care if it was electrified (although I did see the cord).

    Thanks fellas. I've been looking, and am too frugal to pay $400.

    Oliver, I believe it is, but that is also based on the photo, and there was only one. It may be cut, I suppose. I'll let you know when it arrives. I don't even know the brand yet.

    More info from Wickipedia; Unlike steel, bronze struck against a hard surface will not generate sparks, so it (along with beryllium copper) is used to make hammers, mallets, wrenches and other durable tools to be used in explosive atmospheres or in the presence of flammable vapors. Bronze is...

    Well, with regular use and/or polishing, I would not expect much tarnish to transfer. Bronze generally tarnishes only superficially, before "curing." There is, of course, a risk of tarnish/rust transfer when there is active oxidation, but that is the same with any tool. I kicked myself firmly...

    I am sure you are both right. I don't know how long it is, because this is just a photo I grabbed. I'll try to find one of the old images with the actual device I'm thinking of. It could be that I grabbed a photo of a different device. At any rate, it was one of these or something very similar.
