Pronounced 'Ur-bana', like 'ba-nana'. County seat where I grew up. Heimann was in business for decades but has now gone out of business. I used a 'phone-a-friend', i.e. talked to one of my sisters who used to work for Heimann and still knows the family who owned/operated it. They went out of business in 2015. I'm not sure when they started, if I find out I will update.
interesting.. I've worked a lot with transfer pins, which are much like the ones your father had, but much smaller for picking up holes for rivets.... and down the rabbit hole we could go.... :)
The second, less common variety seems more like a transfer die than a transfer punch - rather ill conceived, like a combination revolver/knife/brass knuckles.
Very interesting! Useful, too. Especially if you combine these with a painted surface you transfer to - that would leave a mark in the paint without using any force, which is sometimes important.
I use these often especially to transfer the pattern from the bottom of my antenna rotor to the bottom plate on my hazer/antenna hoist or tower plate of it’s not already drilled correct pattern..
Unrelated, but I noticed the frequency of the word "OK" in these videos, and that the only other person I know of that used it as a filler happened to come from Texas, so I wondered if this was a cultural thing. Then I looked up the etymology of the word to discover it ranges from Latin, Omnis Korrecta ("all correct"), to Choctaw, oke, okeh ("it is"). The internet is such a efficient piddler of time 😸
I have the same RF generator. Am eager to learn it's secrets! It's a nice machine. It's one weakness is that it doesn't have a big knob for varying the frequency.

Nice, never seen those before!
Another new one for me, and my dad was a pattern maker. I have used the ones like your dad's but not the big ones.
Legend has it that his several transfer screws are still stuck down inside his demo block. Citizens are concerned. We may send help...
LOL !! 🙂
Neat, have not seen those before for metal, but as you said, I have seen the wood transfer version.
I've used all three. My dad use to work on military aircraft and had just about every tool imaginable.
Another thing that I didn't know was a thing!
... a little bit like the wood dowel centering pins 😁

Interesting Tools
Oh wow, I need to get me some of those! Thanks for sharing!
6:46 Funny noise. 🙂

Very interesting.
I see many metrology and tool videos from you lately, do you have a machine shop at home ? worth a tour if so.

Neat.
so, you are teasing us while not showing the balance of the RF generator,... sneaky aren't you
He's too busy eating ice cream. Here's the deal. You get what you get and you don't get upset.
@@felixcat4346 you seem to be the one who is upset - snowflake - I am not, I am simply a tease also,... ;-}

Stupid auto-correct stuck in apostrophes...
