Just a few of the projects that have floated through the shop. Some are new projects, some are older,
finally put up where they can be found, read and enjoyed. Something new posted as time permits.
 |
Reworking a 4" Import Mill Vise In this case, also known as "polishing a turd". |
 |
Building a Better Buffer Stand From awful to amazing. |
 |
BH-209i Plasma Cannon Sgt. Schlock's (from Schlock Mercenary) weapon of choice- here's how I made a 1:1 replica in aluminum and stainless steel. Plus: Photo Gallery of the completed project. |
 |
Arcade
Controls for your Lathe Making an AC Tech VFD a little bit more user-friendly |
 |
Halfnut
for the Nichols Hand Miller This piece is commonly missing or broken on these machines, and mine was no different. Here's how I made a replacement to restore full handwheel functionality to my mill. |
 |
Restoring
a cast aluminum nameplate Quick little project; cleaning up the nameplate-medallion to go on the Nichols mill. |
 |
Making a
new Nichols Drawbar The stock Nichols drawbar works, but isn't easy to use in the home shop. Here's a better one. |
 |
A
Bench Grinder Stand Something a little better than a chunk of old drill pipe welded to a discarded car rim. |
 |
The
Grizzly G4027 Vertical Mill Back in 2003 I finally splurged and bought a shiny new and badly-needed full-size vertical mill. Here's the story of the unwrapping, moving, installing and cleaning. 2009 update? After six years of near-daily use, zero problems, tight as a drum, works great. |
 |
A new Knob
for the Speed Control Now that the Nichols is fully wired, I needed a knob to finish off the external speed dial... |
 |
Modding a
Magnum Cutting down a 6" .357 Magnum barrel to 3"... and we keep the front half! |
