Funny story... they were throwing out a 5 inch bore hydro cylinder today, and I brought it home too! I would have to find a high pressure gear pump for a press...the thought of a gantry crane or the like came to me. Anyone have any other ideas!? :bow:

Forgive me for not posting in a while! I saved a 1 hp Baldor electric motor from the trash at work today and it came with a multi stage hydraulic pump of unknown pressure attached! I have NO idea what I'm going to use this for! so the question of the hour is - what should I make with my new 1...

Sure, It is a measurement fixture that will be installed as a quality control measure after injection molding of wind turbine blades (fiber reinforced plastic of unknown variety...). It will measure the angle of attack at the tip compared to the mounting surface. I wanted to do mini baja, but...

Haha...the stub nuts look 'that'l do' because, well, they are. I completely agree they look shitty, and will probably be counterbored in the near future. as for the bearings/bronze bushing, it would be nice, but i doubt it will be a runner, more likely a conversation piece on the desk. I will...

next: the bearing block here's how it stands next to a cold one... jb weld the liner in all the parts, plus studs got the glow plug in I have the carb, needs an adapter, and the exhaust... and I think I will try making a ring for it as well. Until next time...

Then for the aluminum bits... picking up stock on my moto. and cutting on the horizontal starting the crankcase onto the supermax cnc mill done starting the cylinder I hate finning...actually sheared one around half the base. con ports

Then onto the connecting rod. then flipped and aligned all together still needed to make the port in the crank

Then on to the cylinder sleeve, made from an old Jeep camshaft. Turns out it would eat carbide before I tried to anneal it...with great success. then into the mill to get the ports. messed up on the first exhaust and spotted it at the same height as the intake. not much went through though...

Sorry for the long delay, apparently my home computer will only upload one photo at a time to photobucket... so I got on a school machine and we're good to go. First I'll introduce the machines I have at my disposal (they are the college's ). A Prolight1000 benchtop cnc mill. A 1953 Air...

Hi, all! First, I'd like to introduce myself. I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Northern Arizona University, graduating in may. Then it's out into the real world of job searching... I have been fabricating for about 5 years and machining for about 3. This is my first large machining...
