Legend has it that his several transfer screws are still stuck down inside his demo block. Citizens are concerned. We may send help... LOL !! 🙂

Nice, never seen those before!

Pronounced 'Ur-bana', like 'ba-nana'. County seat where I grew up. Heimann was in business for decades but has now gone out of business. I used a 'phone-a-friend', i.e. talked to one of my sisters who used to work for Heimann and still knows the family who owned/operated it. They went out of business in 2015. I'm not sure when they started, if I find out I will update.

I've used all three. My dad use to work on military aircraft and had just about every tool imaginable.

I use these often especially to transfer the pattern from the bottom of my antenna rotor to the bottom plate on my hazer/antenna hoist or tower plate of it’s not already drilled correct pattern..

Very interesting! Useful, too. Especially if you combine these with a painted surface you transfer to - that would leave a mark in the paint without using any force, which is sometimes important.

interesting.. I've worked a lot with transfer pins, which are much like the ones your father had, but much smaller for picking up holes for rivets.... and down the rabbit hole we could go.... :)

Oh wow, I need to get me some of those! Thanks for sharing!

Another new one for me, and my dad was a pattern maker. I have used the ones like your dad's but not the big ones.

Good video, thanks.

Neat, have not seen those before for metal, but as you said, I have seen the wood transfer version.

peace be upon you sir

6:46 Funny noise. 🙂

Another thing that I didn't know was a thing!

Unrelated, but I noticed the frequency of the word "OK" in these videos, and that the only other person I know of that used it as a filler happened to come from Texas, so I wondered if this was a cultural thing. Then I looked up the etymology of the word to discover it ranges from Latin, Omnis Korrecta ("all correct"), to Choctaw, oke, okeh ("it is"). The internet is such a efficient piddler of time 😸

... a little bit like the wood dowel centering pins 😁

The second, less common variety seems more like a transfer die than a transfer punch - rather ill conceived, like a combination revolver/knife/brass knuckles.

Interesting Tools

Very interesting.

Neat.

so, you are teasing us while not showing the balance of the RF generator,... sneaky aren't you
