I think this is a cool project and the video may teach you some new machining or fabrication methods even if you don’t want to make a retractable pen out of a couple of empty 30-06 bullet casings. The pen looks like it’s pretty easy to make. The hardest part might be Continue reading Retractable pen made from 30-06 bullet casings I tried making some machinable wax last night. It’s supposed to be harder than plain wax and mine wasn’t, or at least not noticeably. But I believe I can fix it by re-melting it and dissolving more plastic into it. Machinable wax is made from ordinary paraffin (candle) wax that has HDPE or LDPE plastic Continue reading My First Attempt at Making Machinable Wax I spend about half of my time writing CAM software, and the other half doing product development for a bunch of companies. Usually my prototypes are one-off, sometimes I have to make lots of them. I happen to be in the middle of just such a project- I need to make about 50 of these: Continue reading Casting Lots of Small Parts
This short video shows you how to make a dial indicator stop for a Grizzly G0602 lathe that can be easily adapted to other lathes. The stop is used with a magnetically mounted dial indicator to very accurately measure depth when drilling or boring. You may find this video worth watching even Continue reading Video: Making a tailstock dial indicator stop |
