This page is always under construction, it will change as my projects change. I do have the following projects on my to do list. Projects that appear as links have their own pages or areas covering the details of the project.
Base pin (cylinder axle) for a stainless steel Ruger Old Army revolver. - Done - will add a page for this along with some photos at some point in the future.
Convert a friend's Allis Chalmers 5050 tractor from power assist steering to full hydrostatic steering. - in progress
Make a sprocket adapter for a friend.
Watchmaker's Hammer - Great first project for a budding machinist, this one is being done by a young fellow that I am mentoring.
TouchDRO - This was a great but time consuming project. I learned a LOT of stuff from Brian and Jimmy
Putting the Clausing 8520 on wheels.
Adding a 4th axis DRO scale to the Clausing 8520
Installing a spindle tachometer on the Clausing 8520
Wooden storage box for my rotary table and accessories.
Hand scrape a 24" triangular straight edge and bring it into true. - in progress
Wooden storage box for the 24" triangular straight edge.
Tramming tool for my milling machine.
Wooden storage box for slitting and slotting saws
Convert the Clausing mill and the Logan lathe to a three phase motor and a VFD.
Improved tool rests for my bench grinder
Propane fired forge and heat treating oven, from a book published by Dave Gingery
A clock designed by a friend from the Hobby-Machinist forum. It is called "The Dark Lady". It is an open framed design, and uses a foliot instead of a pendulum.
Modifying a Delta 14" vertical wood cutting bandsaw so that it can also cut metal. This will be covered on a separate page, as it is a rather large project. Design is currently in progress.
Hand scraping will be a page all by itself due to the broad area that this topic covers. I am not sure just how much time and effort I will spend on this, however.
The list goes on and on, but the ones above are the ones that are foremost in my mind and will be the first ones tackled. Stop back from time to time to check on progress!
