That's kind of like juggling. Three in the air at one time.
Wow!

I hate you.....and I want the Sierra

Are these mandrels for the planes and rudder stock bores?

Exactly, Bart. Over here in imperial-measurement-land the typical bores for control surface operating shafts range between 1/16", 3/32", 1/8", and 3/16". Yes, mandrels or 'handles' that make it a much easier task to work these smallish items with file, sand paper, and painting.

Here are some commercial and hand-made hand-vices I use to hold no-bore small work:

"Over here in imperial-measurement-land" Imperial? When was that revolution of yours?

I've gotta ask, why three?, expanding the fleet?, customer order?, or just having massive free time?

Manfred.

We have this local (only 150 miles away) annual 1/96 only 'fleet run' in North Carolina. I want to add more boats to my fleet in that scale, specifically for that event. I had these on hand for a few years and decided to work them up over the holiday.
