    Another Oops

    That looks like a good stress test like Rake said. I am glad I never filmed any of my crashes like on the mill when I took a .400 cut into a hold down clamp I didnt realize was going to be in the way. I am impressed that the Chuck held the piece with what looks like a .125 or better cut. I only...

    Who Has Snow?

    Well we dodged the 10-20 inches last night and got about 9 instead. That leaves about up to 3 feet on the ground. Here are some pics and yes that is a standard height mailbox. I had to shovel out a spot for the swarf collector to pee pee. Now the wind is blowing a steady 25mph with gusts to...

    New Technology

    Wow. With 8 gigs of ram the the computer will be waiting on the processor. Good buy there. I am running a HP 2.5 Ghz AMD dual core with 3 gigs of ram and is fast so I cant imagine what 8 gig will be like. -B-

    A Portable Silver Soldering Hearth

    The Hardy board is the same as Home Depot. I will post pics of it but right now Im snowed in and it is across town in my shop. I used it in a powdercoat oven I built and it works great. I made a small hearth with it similar to 4156df's but dosent look as nice. You cant put direct flame on it...

    A Portable Silver Soldering Hearth

    That is a good idea. I have a small "thingy" I built using Hardy backer board similar to what you have and works great. I just soldered up a tuned exhaust pipe for a rc speed boat Im working on. -B-

    Brians Radial Engine

    Thanks Brian, I tried that but then I had a bunch of pathced holes that looked funny. I am working on another now and it looks a lot better (CNC). Metal Butcher - I agree 100% with Cedge - Any project will have a bunch of parts, you have to finish each one first before you complete. Look at...
