I use White Oak mostly as its what I have most of on hand. I have used Maple and Sweet Birch. Like I said I dont do much of spinning but it is a great option for forming metal. Would be nice to build a stamping Machine I have watched some stamp out work in factories I go to. It's very cool to see a ...

Yes you can use a lathe to spin metal I do it for special items needed. I have done it on both my metal and wood lathes. I agree with Wicked on creating a die depending on the design that could be alot of trouble to produce just a hand full of baffles. I make die's for vacuum forming and it takes a ...

The can is great; but I'm very impressed with the tube-gun type barrel insert for the shotgun.

Same here Fantastic build

I bought this set up its called a Reprap 3D printer. I want to use it to make plastic patterns for my Metal casting projects. I have also been reading up some guys have installed Lasers to use the machine for engraving I will be trying this out as well as I build 1 and 2W laser units. The Machine is...

Bishop I wish you and the wife the best brother My wife just went through almost a year of pain that the doctors still can answer for but they keep sending the Bills like clock work. Its a shame that folks who actually work in this country cant afford to get health care and its given away free to la...

You know you'll have a good wait to get your stamp back you could use that time to get fimilliar with your Lathe. If your set on a freeze plug can. here is a link to a build the guy Sub-Sonic did it and shows how

Plastic welding is easy I have a welding tool for that uses a heating element and compressed air. Welding can and usually does pull things out of alignment. were talking end cap tho weld it on its just an exit hole wait and drill it after the welding is done on threaded end thread after also. No mat...

I would have thought the 609 would do the trick Like 3000 PSi strenth on that stuff for close fit parts. Loctite and 2 small Pins 180 Deg out. ? other then welding it


Joe

he was offered to have it hauled away free I told him the people would probably scrap it anyhow at least I'll use it Its a Czech mill Tos kurim Finesa FNK 25 "1980" much bigger then my Clausing 8520 its missing 2 hand wheels they dont know what happen to those no big deal I can cast new on...

There are a lot of good deals on used equipment most are selling for the price of scrap The lathe you showed is a fantastic piece of equipment and a great deal I payed that much for my Clausing lathe 8 years ago and its only 14X40 I would drive up there and buy that but I have a deal going for a mas...

Enfield, add my applause to your talented use of the milling attachment to perform such a clever conversion. Allow me to dub you the Brancusi of Brass You inspire us with lesser talent to try harder. Best. Couldn't have said it better. Enfield Fantastic work Brother. I would still like to make this...

I can help you out if need be. I build my own RC recievers and transmitters running on 900 Mhz I do everything from design of the circuits to etching PCB and solder of components. I program the chips. Got into do it yourself because of the high cost of ready built stuff. Like I said Most of what I d...

My thought on this was to fluid float the cam that would help with image stabilaty. I have seen for full size cams done this way. I have a few big slow fliers they fly at a walking pace. There are a few good size park fliers that will get the job done. With Lipo batteries they can stay aloft a good ...

It looked to me like the big guy ran the tool post into the chuck? This show while not quite as out there as RJ does many times push the limits of reality. Looked the same to me He said the barrel slipped in the chuck. If its not an act the guy puts on for the show then he realy is an idot. That ba...

Well today I fell into a new customer. They do all sorts of Plating and anodizing there. Me being me I struck up a deal to get set up on some stuff to do type III anodizing at home. I explained my situation with my shop having only a few small places left to set up in. He will be coming to the house...

Yep I build both helis and aircraft have some links in my profile Most of what I build is 1/72 scale RC planes Living room flyers, but used to build big boys and still have a good bit of older planes. I tried my T-Rex heli with the Camcorder barely lifts off the ground gonna have to buy a bigger bir...

I'm personaly a fan of flat black Just mean looking IMO. I have been doing type II anodizing for many years I'm looking into type III just not sure I want to go to any added trouble when type II is nearly as good for most applications. I also prefer the choice of colors especially with RC parts and...

Emilio are you just resizing the 5.56 case and cutting it down? I'm working on a build for the 300 Blackout. I will be reloading for this round. Joe Yes, I cut,then chamfer. then size, then trim, then chamfer. and also anneal. I cut "like" this but with better jug. (cutter is $25 blade st...

Almost done... Didn't like it though... it´s way too long with the suppressor on! Turning the tube on my lathe without a steady is kind of tricky... http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/hossor/10.jpg made a standoff for the barrel in stainless, because the barrel thread is to long http://i54.phot...

see amazing work from small machines still needs some clean up but looking good so far. For sure a suppressor is something you want nice and straight.

awesome Never thought of doing night flight with thermal cam have done some Heli cam flights to locate deer in my hunting area surprizingly the deer are alert to the heli but not spooked by it. Would be great for locating roosting turkeys also. Wonder if my Heli could lift the video cam lol.

Looks pretty bad but you may still be ok. I suspect its type III anodized and that leaves a good oxide layer in and out of the metals surface. .001 Min, most are typical .003 and even as much as .004 The meter test is probably the best test known I am going to see whats in purple power I didnt thing...
