Poxysmit's Precipitous Parts

Amblesmit and Scrindite need to get over themselves. Everyone understands that a firm foundation is the most important part of any device. Without a well built base, no device will ever function.

2
With this in mind, I use high quality steel to make the base of all my devices. Amblesmit and Scrindite realized that my base is the best so they use my gearbox casing in their own parts of the amalgamator. High quality steel plates are very simple to make and are

3
simply one, two, or three blocks of high quality steel, pounded into shape in the forge with a smithy hammer.

For a gearbox casing cut one plate of high quality steel with a file in the forge, and while it is still hot and in the forge, add three more

4
plates and shape it into an open topped box with a smithy hammer. Don't forget to bore the holes for the screws with your file while it is still in the forge. For the top, simply heat a small high quality steel plate in the forge, and bore holes in it for the screws with a file.

5
The whole device is attached to a frame that you make by cutting two high quality steel plates with a file and putting it together with some mechanical gnome bolts. The casing for the device is made similarly to the way that a gearbox casing is, but you use large sheets of high quality

6
steel, instead of small and use two hinges and a latch to attach another regular sized high quality steel plate to the rest as a door. You make the hinges and latch like you would any other forged piece, in the appropriate mold, just use a small piece of high quality steel instead.

7
For my gearbox simply use a small clockwork shaft, tiny clockwork shaft, two infused gears, clockwork gnome gear, and clockwork pinion gear. In the configuration that yields a 2 to 4.3 reverse conjugant ratio. Fit this in one of my gearbox casings with a top, and secure it with

8
mechanical gnome bolts.

Scrindite also had me specify the tolerances for a hole punch that he needed for his mechanoinstruction holepoker. The hole punch is made in a forge using a hand made mold described by Scrindite, and melting a large brick of high quality steel into it and tempering

9
it with celestial temper. Finish it off by filing away any burrs from the mold. Be sure that no burr is larger than .1 of a hair.
