I forgot that the PC and the router had DNS settings. The PC settings
did the job, not sure what the router ones do.


The images for the toolholder were made on a flatbed scanner. Making
good images of metal parts (and dark materials in general) is fairly
complicated if one doesn't have a good camera and some talent in
lighting and photography.
Tell me about it. Most of the stuff I take pics of, mainly metalwork,
give my camera trouble in that it won't auto focus so requires finding
something at the same distance to focus on then moving back to the
desried subject. PITA.


I find the toolholders very handy when sitting at the grinder with a
handful of cutting tools to grind. I can grind very aggressively for
rough shaping HSS cutting tool blanks.

That's a nice idea. I hadn't thought of using my trim tool for that but
it would make some shaping much easier on 3/8" bits having about 2.5' of
steel and ash as a lever behind it.
