I have! It was a piece that looked something like the pic, about 8-10 inches x 8-10 inches. I remember thinking it was so light for it's size! It wasn't so much him tinkering as owning an electroplating company. We did work for SPAR, Bombardier, Boeing, Nortel, and more. One I remember is Amphibico underwater cameras. Sometimes I see them in nature documentaries and I wonder if it was one I worked on! lol We mostly did electrical components.I also worked on lots of airplane parts, anodizing them to prevent them from conducting current and shorting things out lol I also worked on nickel plating pieces of the machine that puts labels on Molson beer bottles! It was an interesting job,but mainly physical labor and relatively low paying. lol
