fastdadd Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 those are nice you have a nice shop set up...how big is it Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Damn Buck!!!! I also suck at wood working.. Well when it comes to finish work, I could never build cabinets that classy! One of the Electrical Engineers said I should be a framer after he saw a table and a set of stairs I built. nothing I would dare post after what you just posted :D I did build this the other day, I posted it in the 4 door thread but thought I would put it in here just for fun :D It's .25" on one side and .5" on the other. Get this I kept it within +/- five thousandth of an inch!! Not that it matters since rubber hose goes on it but pretty damn good for 30min on the lathe :D I tried to keep it as accurate as I could just for practice :D Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 since figbuck started it here is a back bar i made a few months ago this is what it looked like when i finished the wood work i have a pic of it after it was stained but i dont like the color of it....it is in service in a pub out in forest grove Quote Link to comment
Figbuck Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You know, football? No eights and sixteenths... only quarters and halfs. :lol: Yeah, Ice! See, I think that stuff is so cool. I have an Army buddy that has the baddest little machine shop and makes parts for GE jet engines to tolerances in the ten thousandths range. I can't even count that high. Mike, you gotta understand all the material I used was either dragged out of a dumpster or was on its way to the land fill. The only thing I bought was glue. It's totally Ratsun Garage. I blew it, I should have stuck one of J2eDeYe's stickers on there! Great another sawdust maker! Nice fastdad. It looks like you got some space. Mine is only 25' x25', but I have six other neighbors with way bigger spaces and crap loads of nice machinery. One of the guys has a ShopBot CNC router set up. I'm going to use it for some up coming project ideas I have. Here is a cool little box that I built for a really nice guy named John Marks. He grew up in Wisconsin and was into Frank Lloyd Wright. Your should grab a cup of coffee or a beer for this: http://s230.photobucket.com/albums/ee97/figbuck/KnotTraditionalWoodworks/KTW%20SAMPLE%20PICS/KTW%20MARKS%20JOB/ I love making something out of nothing. This is in the firewood category: http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/ll244/clarysktw/Crestwood%20Lane%20Wine%20Table/ My favorite projects are always the next one... Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 that house is really cool....love FLW stuff! Okay....Fig....I don't typically follow much 620 stuff so this is the first time I've checked your PB pics.....HOLY COW!!! I've seen a few of the pics, but I had no idea that you had your rig done! I feel like such a sloth!! This isn't the thread for it, but seriously....great work on the tailgate and all the painting!! I'm quite impressed!! Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 O.K. here we have a pair of cup holders I made for the wagon. Over the holidays. :cool: And the ring for the shifter boot. Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 One of my buddies made this for me for Xmas. billet alum grill badge. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Awesome! I really think I need to go turn my lathe on today!! I can't make that stuff, but it will still feel good to make some chips.......or maybe just rub up against it for a bit :) Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Fig, that house is beautiful. Love the woodwork. :cool: Datrod...I want your CNC :D Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 That wood work is awesome! Seriously WOW. Datrod, very nice center consol. What kind of shifter boot is that? I'm looking for something really small and that looks like it would fit the bill. Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 for some reason, it didn't dawn on me to post anything other than the dato related stuff..........so here's a tool I made for work :) I've seen a similar design before, but not many people have.....so it really kinda impresses people when they see a set of "hingeless" pliers :) Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nice tool Mike. :) Quote Link to comment
agentalpha Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Icehouse, How much would you need for a set of 6 of those, say about 4 inches long? :D Beautiful work everyone, both wood and metal!! Guess I'll have to post some things up, too. Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I cooked this video up of a prototype school pride plate we were making, it's a test run with scrap wood we got from the back of someones truck;) It's about 5 minutes of boring-ness but the professor liked the integration of technology in the classroom:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
Figbuck Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Datrod, if we were closer there would be some serious barter going on. :) That console would look trick in the 'ol 620!! Love the Radioflyer badge too. Mike, thanks for the compliment, NICE TOOL dude! Ar, ar, ar... wreeet! :P What is the machine you are working on, what's it do? EZ, what's the class?

mklotz70 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Mike, thanks for the compliment, NICE TOOL dude! Ar, ar, ar... wreeet! :P What is the machine you are working on, what's it do? Is the feeder section of the DBCS(delivery barcode sorter) at work. It sorts the mail into "walk sequence" for the carriers at a rate of about 38k-42k letters per hour. The electronics could probably go a good bit faster, but you can only push paper through a machine so fast. I've run test before checking my alignments....I've hit nearly 60k with postcards and some "tweaks" :) Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 EZ, what's the class? It was CNC course. The machine was a Fadal 5800 or something.. I took several courses like that including Rapid Protyping, CNC, manual lathe and mill course, machine design, and several other courses that required me to use all of those machines to finish projects for Formula SAE, moon buggy, remote control lawn mower, hover craft and much more.

I gotta love you formula sae guys & gals. I volunteer every year for the formula sae event held at AAA Speedway in Fontana. To much fun watching all the young kids with all that talent.

mklotz70 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I put this in the MEND thread too...... It's not metal.....it's closed cell foam :) It's for the heater core to sit in. I used double sided tape to hold it to the vise. Took longer to get that back off the vise than to do the rest of the work!! :( Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Sweet Mike!! I had some rubber in the mill the other day :D What can't mills do? :D Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I would like to explore that question in depth...but I don't have a mill to study with.... :D Quote Link to comment
