The width of the original tape is about .330". Although gaffer's tape is a very close substitute, that width is simply not available.
So..... Creative lathing ensues. Place roll of three inch gaffer's tape in the lathe and set up a new razor blade in the tool holder.... Look at that nice clean cut. It's the dark one that's barely visible. 90 rpm and the blade cut in neatly. Now I have some tape to work on Byron's /6 harness. Attached thumbnail(s) |

My dads a surgeon. Growing up, he told me the golden rule to working with power tools was always pay attention to your fingers. He kept all his. Many of his patients weren't so lucky. You can bet I passed that piece of wisdom down to my son.
