Terry it makes no difference if it was 10 weeks or a 100 years. If they are your soul mate half of you die with them.

I am sorry to say that my time and mind have been seriously trashed in the last year. July 3 2013 my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. My life became a blur of doctors, tests, chemo, ambulances, and finally hospice. My wife was my soul mate for 49 years and my wife for 45 years...

If you are not doing heavy milling then a Rotozip will work. I have an adapter that connects the Rotozip to the spindle on a Bridgeport clone CNC. I think the Rotozip runs at 30,000 rpm. Dennis Sellers Model Dimensions Machine LLC

Standard practice in tool & die shops is to use a center drill to start the hole then drill about 1/32" undersize. Next use a square end endmill roughly 0.01" undersize and finish with a reamer. This method is used to locate dowel pins in dies. Dennis Sellers Model Dimensions Machine LLC

I believe that is why we have hobbies. I person spends their lives doing the bidding of others. A hobby is time to be creative by doing your own bidding. If you are having fun then carry on. Dennis

It has been a few weeks since I posted my progress on building a Little Demon V8. The model is still being built in Alibre. Error checking features Alibre will eliminate most errors. Steve's blueprints are very detailed. I am only running into a few small problems. Steve if you are reading...

You are a lot farther than I. I have yet to cut a chip. I see a lot of good hours in your build. You know a good toolmaker only makes chips to release the part from the material it is stuck in. If a toolmaker cuts the part, Opppps.

I have a professional machine shop so I am using Alibre Expert now known as Geomagic Design™ Expert 2013 with CAM option. I draw the part hit a few buttons and take the program to my CNC's I am getting spoiled. I grew up as a toolmaker when the only thing a tool shop had was a manual...

You get 3 BIG attaboy's. Yes, that is a Little Demon V8.

Hi All. Well it is about time for me to start a build. For my first project I have selected a V8 engine. I already have a wealth of machining skills but I am not used to working in small scale. We will see how it goes. I have a 3D CAD system, Alibre, and I believe in build in the computer...

Hi All, New to the list not new to machining. I always wanted a job shop in my garage. Now I have it. I make my living and build my hobbies here. If you want to see more of what I do look at my website. The last picture is a lathe cross slide lead screw I made for a customer.

I am thinking V8. Nine cylinders might be too much :)

Hi all. Model engines is a hobby that has fascinated me for years. I am impressed with the skill level that are evident in the galleries. This looks like it is going to be fun. I am the owner of a machine job shop. My machines are CNC with emphasis on tool room capabilities. Maybe I can be...
