    jon-monon retires

    I see I am almost to my 5100th post, which is what Robin did during his time at the-gauge. Since I can't compare my accomplishments to Robins, I've decided to retire jon-monon from the gauge. I shall never post again as jon-monon or use the name elsewhere. Goodbye cruel world!

    Scratchbuilt detail parts

    This was done ages ago and entered in a gauge photo contest. Jugs of shine, still and instruments are scratch built from brass. I gave away the still but have the other parts somewhere.

    Nice work! If you want to make open or battered barrels, you might try thin metal. I used brass shim stock. Fred did a howto using the jig I made him for "O" scale. This can be done easily in any scale from N on up. The jig can also be made from a softer material than the aluminum block I used...
