Here is a little story I wrote about the internal radius turning tool I made to make tube bending dies for an import metal bender.

A little video I made about making a die for the average metal bender with a shop built radius turning tool. https://youtu.be/6bIcJdu2PqQ

"How It's Made" is a television program I enjoy watching. Here are a couple I think the members will appreciate; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj0Kb_n5jUA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYKm9fzA1D8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R6Zvp3DEh0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGyoMuE4gDQ...

Here is a nice design I came across; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IZxOD1UG9A&feature=plcp I wonder if all of the tubing could be reduced to a single manifold?

...and built this BB gun; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCLHWvr5O48 Any body else built their own airguns? Have fun!

If I ever get around to making some chips for this beauty, I will change the title of this thread. For now this is where I am at. I have quite a few hours invested in the computer modeling which will pay big dividends when it comes time to make some parts. It also helps me visualize the...

I thought I would like to show off my collection of engines and have a page to update as builds are completed. Most of these engines were inspired and/or designed by forum members. It all started about 15 years ago when this thing called the internet came along and I found some designs...

I've been wanting to finish my Hoglet; http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=1831.0 But most of my time has been spent with my 18 month old Son (lots of fun) and working on my 55+ year old house (not much fun) I tore out some kitchen cabinets which were built from 2x4's and...

There is such a wealth of information on this forum. I often see a great tip or technique and later on find myself saying "oh yeah, that was in so and so's thread about such and such" Then I will find the thread and look for the page where the information is stored. The point is that some of...

Here is radius turning tool I came across on U-tube. I thought it was a pretty great idea. It looks like he is adjusting the radius by moving the pivot points in T-slots. I suppose a guy could drill indexed holes for preset sizes...

I have always wanted an engine that would run off of a tea light. Jan Ridders' "Bas" will fit the bill nicely. I won't get any work done until the Hoglet is put to rest, but for now I just wanted to get some computer modeling practice in; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NOLnUc3QP0 Here is...

Here is a home made bandsaw, which was built from plywood and a set of castings, in the time before cheap imports were available. I have also been lucky to have been given 6 and a 14 inch bandsaws over the years, so now this old timer has got to go. If any body in the lower mainland wants it...

Several years ago I made 4 of these for a co-worker. Last year I received 2 back, just before Father's Day, with the in-lay installed. He did a great job, I kept one and gave the other to my Dad. It is a square for laying out lines around a corner. A couple weeks ago he gave me one of...
