    Good Morning Bob, Guys,

    Very nice finish on that spring centre ! I like the coarse effect of the bluing process. I bet it improves the fit of the parts and smoothness of movement. I'm tempted to send mine over for bluing

    If it was done right the bluing should be as smooth as the original surface. Fume bluing is very good for parts that have to fit closely as the final coating is only microns thick.

    No worries if you pay the postage.

    Hi Bob, Guys,

    Attachment 374848
    And not least a family picture of all the bits except the cap that screws into the end to stop the spring popping out.

    I will post further when I make the cap that goes in the end.

    Hi Guys,

    As promised the final pictures of the cap that goes in the end to keep it all together.
