The red insulator is probably Bakelite (branded also with other names), you can easily find flat boards and rounds in various size on the popular chinese website. Can be of various colours depending on the base material; from woody brown to red, to bright orange

2022-05-31 20:37:08 +0000 UTCIt looks more like an electric meat grinder than a drill. Does it have an attachment for that?

2022-05-26 20:40:14 +0000 UTCWhat a awesome drill. Eric you once again you surpassed even my expectations. The labels and Japanning were the icing on the cake. Well done.
2022-05-26 01:41:22 +0000 UTCI have just added looseosity to my vocabulary. Perfect.
