10ER quill return spring safe insertion into housing

Ask her how many purses she has.

Be warned that does not always work. When I was on active duty the only purse I had was the one I had to keep for a full sea bag but otherwise I did not have any and now that I'm retired, I got rid of that one too.

Ahh but in your 'case' thee would be the one to want 'another' tool!

And probably hubby has only one wallet that is over 20 years old.

JPG would be right. Although, lately it has been more replacing tools that I don't like or are old and need work with updated models or with other versions. The older tools are passed on to our son who is just starting his tool collection.

John, my husband carries about three different wallets (items commonly used, rarely used or work) with him normally and has all kinds of them laying around that he has 'retired' for some reason.

Touche Brenda. I have one of the nylon tri fold wallets that they sell in the Exchange. I have had it for well over 20 years. It has the clear plastic slot in the center to display you're ID card. The ones they carry now have the clear slot on the outside.

I also have one or two from Thailand made from Elephant hide. They are the long vertical type you put in a suit jacket pocket. I don't wear suits much any more so that wallet does not get used.

My inexpensive leather wallet embossed with my initials is in tatters, so I dug out a duct tape wallet I made as a teenager. My wife rolled her eyes as she said "is that a duct tape wallet?" This was my second prototype, to correct the issue I had with my first prototype that would end up having bills stick to the adhesive in the corners.

Edit: Now that I'm married, I don't know what bills look like, so that's not an issue.

Okay the wallet stories gave me a good morning laugh. Back to topic for a minute. Do you have a pic of the spring going back into the housing? Also I'm sure some of you know but for those who don't they still use this same spring in new Shopsmiths today. Unfortunately you have to buy it already in the Mark V/7 housing. I've had to replace several in the Model 10's I've restored and for one I couldn't find any on ebay.

I had seen one on eBay for $14.99 when I wasn't sure why mine was jammed up. Was glad I didn't need one, as it doesn't seem like they were plentiful in used good condition.

I don't have it 100% together as I'm still cleaning rust off of things, but I'll take a few more pics and maybe a video next time I'm working on that part. If you watch the YouTube video I referenced, I tried to duplicate what I saw as best as possible. So other than moving it from one vise grip to another while wound, I used the same technique as his for reinsertion into the housing.
