Hi gang. I have been inactive the last 8 years. My buddy that got me into this died unexpectedly on Father's days 8 years ago. I couldn't bring myself to get back in my shop. I sold my 54" Jet knee mill about 5 years ago. I always wanted a cnc mill and picked my my new Tormach 440...

Hi gang...been gone since 20011. I have no idea who all remembers me. I designed and built an adapter for the D1-4 chuck to go to my rotary if anyone remembers that. I tried to search for some of my old threads but didn't come up with anything so I think the forum changed and it's probably...

7 years ago I bought a machinist level from WT tool. I used it to level my lathe and put it away. Then about a year later I took it over to a friend’s house to check his lathe. It was then I realized that I never calibrated the darn thing. Oh well no problem I say...I will just calibrate it...

Well this isn't really a build, it's about rebuilding....or, more to the point refinishing...well err...it never really got a finish in the first place so let’s just call it a thread about putting a finish the Siamese Twin. Some of you may have seen my thread on anodizing in the break room. I am...

Today instead of going the the flywheels on the Siamese Twin I decided to try a part that I will most likely do more of and it is about the biggest part I plan on doing for now. This is just scrape now...many times over prototype.;) I put it about 30 minutes ago...it was a bear trying to...

I just spent the day getting set up to try my hand at anodizing. It's pretty much a run of the mill home shop setup. 2amp/10amp battery charger, battery acid mixed 50/50 with distilled water and lye mixed with distilled water...and lots of distilled water rinse buckets. My test piece is in...

Hi gang, getting set up so I can powder coat and was wondering if any of you have pictures of your set ups. I have a full size kitchen oven to use and for right now a tall cardboard box with a hole cut in the top for direct lighting, and a SS rod sideways to hang a stif copper wire from. I an...

Ok gang. I took a few different video clips this year of running engines. I have combined them all together and placed the final video on YouTube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2aJa6tfZr8 For some reason the quality seems to have dropped some what when I sent it to Youtube. If I can...

Enjoy all....sorry I took so many dups...I was playing with camera adjustments. I have about 7 videos I will combine and send up to YouTube. I will post a link to the video when I have it done. http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/Deere_X475guy/NAMES2010/

Can't do much in my shop right now so I did a quick drawing of a soft jaw to fit my Bison 8" 3 jaw. There is a PDF in the downloads area (Titled: Soft Jaw for Bison 3 jaw and similar chucks)that contains the dimensioned drawings and different 3d views. If you can use these and find any errors...

Hey gang, when I was at NAMES I picked up a flyer for a show in Ohio but now I can't find it. From memory (for what little it is anymore) I think it was in November sometime. My effort to seach didn't bring me back anything and I was pretty sure someone had posted the info here someplace. Do any...

I have this posted on another board but because I thought some of the members here might be interested in this project I decided to also post it here. My shop is a mess finally and I have swarf all over the mill and the lathe :D My goal is to turn this chuck of 5.25 x 2 of aluminum: into...

Hello gang, I wasn't real sure where to put this as it really isn't work in progress, rather just updating parts on an older engine I built. The air inlets never really held the 1/4'' plastic tubing very well. They were just brass rod that I threaded with an 1/8" hole drilled in them and a...
