By the way, I was liking all the mechanical switch talk. When I started reading this thread I was sure dibi just filled it with magic dust and monkey poo. It turns out that's what a spring is...

What if you had a wedge shaped piece of copper, stainless whatever connected to the bottom of the button that, when pressed, wedges between two contact leaves... The leaves would have some flexibility allowing the metal to rub a little bit each time the button is pressed. This would keep the contact clean.

This is sounding similar to what Mundy is shooting for with his fingerstock parts, but a cylinder into fingerstock instead of a wedge into a \ / type contact.

Hey Pdib,

Will this fit?
It's 6" long, 1.75" thick, 2.5" wide
Fossilized walrus tusk

Edit: It fits! :D

I've got a divot tool made of that stuff. It looks AWESOME after it's been worked. I'll throw a picture up tomorrow when I get home.


Master of Bassets...and not much else.

They are both books that are satirical comments on the man's state of existential dilemma. The first, Swift's Gulliver Travels is more a political satire, but that particular part is about how alien man can be perceived.

The 3rd part could be a paragraph from Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land (The Idiot is about this christ-like guy, complete with ...... and madonna).

I think pdib is not making mods but doing belly button contemplation of his reason for existing.
That or he's hitting male menopause. :?:

if he starts quoting Sartre or Camus, we're all screwed...

“It may be that until now there has been no more potent means for beautifying man himself than piety: it can turn man into so much art, surface, play of colors, graciousness that his sight no longer makes one suffer.---”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

To my brain that sounds like turboencabulator talk.

Well... it kind of is:).

We hear only those questions for which we are in a position to find answers.

You're on Earth. There's no cure for that.
