On 11/11/2022 I started to build a 1/3rd Scale Case Baler to run on my 1/3rd Scale Case Steam Engine. I just doubled the size of the parts from my 1/6th Scale John Deere baler that I built in 2009. I will attempt to post a step by step build process. I found an old John Deere cast iron...

I played around with using my CNC Mill as a Lathe. I mounted a right angle head on my vertical mill. Put my toolholder in the vise. After doing a X Y mirror of my program (the part moves, not the toolbit!) I machined a few sample test parts. https://photos.app.goo.gl/vXQg1GtRLXt5hFiX7...

I have played around with printing sand casting patterns. I use Fusion 360 to draw the 3D models. I have a Lulzbot Mini 2 printer. I am waiting for warmer weather to fire up the foundry & pour some wheels.

I just finished another casting kit. I bought this kit from PM research. A very nice set of castings, an easy build. I actually kept track of the time to build this because I always get asked that question when ever I show off my models. 95 hrs. before I disassembled & painted it. This does not...

After searching for 2 years I found a program that will allow me to make actual cad geometry from True Type Fonts and save them as a *.DXF file. Millwrite 6.0 is a CadCam package that is free to download & use. Millwrite has several fonts and is very user friendly. This allows me to engrave with...
