A relatively short video with some operations during the vise building. I just was informed that steel castings are ready and will be shipped soon.

A few more internal parts

I start turning internal parts. Here how it will look attached.

Handles are cut and holes are drilled. Need to make more balls and install it to handles.

Technically, all these are lead nuts. It is turned, drilled along the axis, #4-40 thread is cut. Next operation will be drilling a hole for the handle.

Thanks! As far as I know nobody else is making miniature Powrarm so in any case it is a unique item.🙂

There are two possible actions now since all waxes are in the foundry. Either make as it is or stop the process and make 24 new waxes. It will require making new mold.

Sorry, of course Schiller

I try to be accurate in my miniatures. The item I make should look like original. The one I had was made in Schindler park.

This was the one I had in hand

Some preliminary castings. To study machining sequence and make some jigs. Looks like the casting process is fine. No flaws, no voids. Letters are recognizable. I am waiting for steel castings now.

Clevis rod end

Sets of wax models before being shipped to the foundry.

The first ones gone for $700 a piece. Taking into account time I spent on each my hourly rate was very low . I know someone then sold one of my vises for 2k. I do not see how it can be cheaper than the first batch.

I need to finish another one too.
