Talking About Trains...

Wow.. am already needing classes just to read messages, You are good ,, working with miniature things take a bit of skill, I believe.
 
0.3mm is also the smallest size my drill takes. Dare not use that size without a drill stand though and can hardly see it myself without using my reading glasses! Some of the smallest drill bits in my drill set could dissapear and I may not even notice!

I have rarely used the smallest ones as I mostly use about 0.75mm or larger depending on what I am drilling, and mostly I don't look at the mm size. I just say "That will do", pick it out and use it in the drill! :D
Is only if assembling kits that specify a certain drill size that I will look at the drill measurements, and even then it can be a guess in the hope I have the right one. (The measurements do not quite line up with the slots for the drill bits on my drill case. I have a spare set as well and it is the same with that set).

And you. do this work by eye ..???? Yes I understand about the drill stand . of course .
I keep a small drill press, with adaptor for tiny bits , and a set of dental grinding bits .
Probably not made of the best steel though. but the fine holes and drill bits, often will conciously try to avoid getting to those situations , Especially if alignment is a issue.
 
Like it? :D

Lolzzz ... very Nice ..all I had to do was stand up from the couch, and look on the highest shelf in the living room . right above the couch . They have display spot up there . Love the appearance of authenticity . On that same shelf is a large Oak wood triangle ,the folded flag inside is, that flag that every veterans family recieves upon the death of a veteran of that family passes on, USA flags are traditionally always folded in such a way that the flag forms a triangle to display or in storage . Recognising the service of that Soldier did for their country. The train sits on that shelf in proud display, Of a Friendship
that someone has had with a Soldier, whom has not passed but was a soldier herself and the Wife of that same soldier who passed .Whose flag is on display . If and when that Train and tender comes down from that shelf . It will be for And new set of tracks for it to ride on . There are only a few such items in this house that get to sit on that shelf here . All collectables .Of one sort or another .
