Hey Thane,



I sent you an email to the effect that I have been unsuccessful in contacting Eric Gohr -- the last person it was sent to.  In case there is a problem with the email, I have found a phone number and I will try to call him today.  Maybe at OSH?  If anyone has contact with him, let me know.



By the way, I haven't heard from John Ackerman - the parent of the countersink - so that I can eventually get it back to you.



Later, - Lew

Save the postage, Lew - let it circulate until it's worn out!

If we ever find out where it is, Put me on the list.  Seems like each person shouldn't have it long.  Thanks, Don McDonald  #40636 finishing    11460 Elks Circle, Rancho Cordova, Ca.  95742.

OK, Don. You are on the list for John's "Traveling Countersink Show".



I left a message on Eric's voice mail yesterday -- no response yet.

Before you do that, add me to the end of the list, I am coming up on the

canopy and can use it now

Whoever is last let me know who that is and I'll send my information

off-list.

Thanks Lew and John.

I just talked to Eric -- he's been out of town -- and the countersink is on the road again!  



Headed to Thane next.

OK, Thane sent me the seatbelt countersink yesterday and I just did ours, so it will go in tomorrow's mail to Don, then Pascal.  



By the way, we had a heck of a time finding the bolts we had tucked away so we'd remember where they were -- if I remember correctly they were in bag 1541 "miscellaneous".  I HATE wasting time looking for stuff that has vaporized!

The revised traveling countersink list is now:



8 )  Don

9)  Fred

10) Pascal

 

Then back to me (hopefully someday I'll have a canopy) since John has abdicated his parental rights!



Let me know if others want in on this -- it still works really well, may be getting duller than new, but then I have nothing to compare it to.

Lew,

Are you the keeper of the official/unofficial list?  Am I the next builder after Pascal and Phil White after me?

Well, I suppose I am.  It was on the way to 8] Don, 9) Fred, 10) Pascal, 11) Charles Usery.  But then Fred said he was sending it to Don ...?



So I'm not sure where it is now.  If it's on schedule you would be

12) Gary Blankenbiller

13) Phil White

then back to me.



I have Phil's address, but not yours.  Email me direct (lewgall(at)charter.net) if you like, and I'll try to get the latest mames and addresses tacked onto the end of the list.

OK Gary, I got your address.



Pascal, has the countersink arrived yet?  If so, let me know and I'll mail you the updated list and corresponding labels.

address to whoever.



Thanks

Is this some sort of "Super Countersink Tool?"

Nope...just a standard 5/16 countersink...that lives on as it travels the country...One came in the set I bought almost five years ago tooling up for the project...kinda funny to watch it get so much attention. FWIW, tools get dull real quick on fiberglass...this bit has to be getting close to it's lifespan, but at two holes per aircraft...maybe not.

Has anyone looked into the bits mentioned in Feb Rvator?

"Of course, fiberglass will destroy those expensive countersink bits.

The head of our prototype shop, Scott

McDaniels, uses Permagrit countersinking bits (Avery p/n LC1 and LC2)

for fiberglass and says they do an excellent

job."

The Avery permagrit countersink bits work great on fiberglass. I  

wouldn't use anything else.
