Well,
This is the first of 6 of these I need to do
Paul is retiring this week - and he is only doing half days so I need to bring this in tomorrow!!
My company makes electronic as well as mechanical indicators. High end stuff. We also make all sorts of other gages.
This is an electronic indicator called a micro maxim. One of the electrical engineers reprogrammed it to be a clock.
I inlaid a plaque into the mahogany so it is flush with the surface. I think it came out nicely.
All the gages made at Federal Products used to have a mahogany box. Well, the mahogany boxes are no longer offered, and now the gages are put into plastic boxes.
Actually - the old Federal mahogany boxes have become something of a collectible.
Anyway - there is no more mahogany in the carpenter shop, so I bought a big chunk of African Mahogany.
So - this will be going to Paul tomorrow.
