Both Jack Burgess and I have written about pin vises and drilling technique in detail, so check the resincarbuilder archives using the search entry ‘pinvise’. There may also be information in the

A friend used Anise seeds for a beet train, and after a few months the cars were infested with bugs. If you use Anise seeds, you better treat them to discourage bugs. Perhaps run them through an
