Rest Your Hot Stuff

Rest Your Hot Stuff

Heavy-duty glazed ceramic tiles are good places to put hot things that would damage more vulnerable surfaces. Think lab, workshop, kitchen; think of the coffee mug on your desk. Canadian-made tiles all have speckled, textured surfaces. We’ll choose gray or off-white rectangles. Rectangular size is 3-7/8” x 7-7/8” x 1/2” in assorted colors. Make a serious table-top. Tile the mud-room floor. Get creative in the garden. Make mega-mosaics.

Needle File Set

Miniature 5–1/2" steel needle files. They come in the usual assortment of flat, wedge, triangular, and round shapes, (10) in all. They seem to be pretty uniformly fine with none that we would call coarse. Made in China, they come in a vinyl carrying case that snaps shut. Not as classy as some of the sets we have seen in the $18.00 range, but perfectly serviceable for most applications. And at a third the price.

Hemostatic Heaven

Hemostatic Heaven

Hemostats are the clamplike devices dangling from veins and arteries in melodramatic operating scenes. Our particular collection are Pakistani surgical-grade instruments made of magnetic stainless steel. As such we rate them pretty good, but not fantastic. Hemostats look like little pliers. The jaws are relatively fine, with rounded tips. The inside faces are lightly serrated to get a grip on tubing or body plumbing. And the handles are much longer than the jaws. Ratchets between the handles click together to lock the hemostat in a closed position. To release the clamps, push the handles apart at 90 degrees to the plane of the jaws. Now the heavenly part. Great hobby clamps that can be worked into small areas. Fine heat sinks for electronics. Good hook extractors for trout fisherpeople. Excellent tubing clamps for flow-sensitive chemistry experiments. Sizes are approximate length.

CD/Disc Cases

CD/Disc Cases

Individual cases for 3–1/2” computer discs. Well, actually there are cases for either one or two discs . The nice thing about them is that they are stiff enough to protect the disc but just flexible enough not to be brittle and break the way most “jewel” cases do. Red, blue, purple or gold, all are translucent enough to read interior labels. We pick your color, you pick your type.

Critters Crossing

Everyone needs a "Mosquito Crossing" sign at the summer cottage. If you own a formal wear shop or a wedding chapel, you really need the "Penguin Crossing" sign. Taverns everywhere should warn patrons about inattentive jackalopes, and actual dairy farmers might have a genuine, non-cute, need for the "Cow Crossing" version. These are all well-made 12" square indoor/outdoor metal signs, painted standard traffic yellow with a black border and realistic animal graphics. Each hangs diagonally from a pre-drilled 1/4" hole.

Plop the Cork

Plop this cork sheet into any of your projects. Quite flexible, 12" x 36", just 1/16" thick. That's pretty thin for a bulletin board, but just right for making yourself a cork wardrobe, or providing designer soundproofing in your Media Room. Use a sheet as a soft base for delicate model building, or craft a raft; cork floats, you know.

Positioner/Holder

A fine concept and pretty successful execution. Weighted bases hold fully adjustable clips and lenses for delicate hands–free work. The Helping Hand w/solder has a 2” high base connected to (2) alligator clips via (3) universal joints and a 4–1/2" sliding beam, and to a 2–1/2" dia roughly 3X magnifier via another universal joint on the sliding beam. It also adds a holder for your soldering iron, plus a hole and thumbscrew in the base to firmly position it. The larger Work Stand has a 3–1/2” x 4–3/4” stand with a 2–3/4” square x 3/8” deep reservoir to hold small parts, an L–shaped sliding beam with (2) alligator clips, and another L-shaped beam with a 3–1/2” lens, about 4X magnification. Joints adjust every which way. The set screws can all be hand–tightened, but we suggest a small pliers to secure the hefty 4X lens. Think of the clips as extra hands to hold wires, components, beads, what-have-you while you perform some operation on them with your own two hands.
