Old man needs ideas or direction?

Steve,
I thimk it shows a lot of inventiveness and willingness to learn when you take on a project such as the one you have going now. Just keep making one part at a time and before you realize it you will have all the parts made and can move on to final assembly and buffing. Good luck and you might try a rubber cushioned floor mat to reduce back fatigue. HF sells them and they work wonders if your standing in one place for extended periods of time.

Maybe a box tool in combination with the form tool to support the work? That's a lot of little pins to go through. Is the copper stock oversized? Seems like it's fully annealed if it is bending that bad. Too bad it was not a full hard or even half hard copper.
 
i would by 1/4 x 1" pins from mcmaster 10 for 2.30...then add a taper..single operation each
 
Almost sounds like it'd be easier to just melt the rods down and mould them...

say a box tool yes, I say thanks all BUT problem is a machining tweeking amounts to time/ set up time jigs etc. will not divide into 60 min. well I'm stuck with this and will
proceed my thoughts are a box tool and just tail stock it in there for the taper .....good thing , customer not in any hurry..... so 10 a day do my normal work and all is good.
