Finger Press Brake Cylinders

I was fortunate to find the data plate on one of the cylinders.  It was nearly impossible to read but with the right lighting the camera did a decent job of picking it up.

Did some more digging on propane seals

Neoprene is OK for static propane use aka not on a car/truck etc

McMaster has seals which works on at least some of these connectors. Measure prior to ordering. https://www.mcmaster.com/neoprene-rubber-washers

McMaster-Carr

Choose from our selection of neoprene rubber washers in a wide range of styles and sizes. In stock and ready to ship.

Part No 90133A036 is said to fit some quick connects

pack of 100 for $12.43

There are better materials for use with propane but I have not searched for them

FWIW I have been switching over to Milton high flow airline fittings https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O2ZGQ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 So MAYBE (have not checked to see if McMaster has washer that fit) $12 for the couplers and $12 for the washers (ignoring shipping) and you have 2 propane quick connects that should last a life time.

Lead Ingots

Cast two lead ingots that just fill a small fixed rate shipping box.
They will go to a friend in trade.
