If your question was in the context of help with cutting your own throat,
rather than cutting crystals, this could possibly turn out to be the longest

Far more stable than cutting your own crystal, can't imagine why you think making one yourself would
be more stable than a good surplus xtal and oven.

I wish to make a master oscillator for the shack, and am considering
cutting my own crystals in order to reduce ageing. Is there a source
of raw material?

Also, for temperature compensation, I am considering the use of bi-metals.
(I've never seen one, but what is the mechanism used in Oxley's
Tempatrimmer?)

So much for Radio Amateurs 'knowing' their hobby. The Cb'er makes himself
known when he blurts out a foolish question on this NG.

Ahhhh, you've unearthed the philosopher's stone.
Any left-over scraps to spare for me?
I'm in great need and will collect.
Are you in the Call Book?
