    iPad Stand

    I bought it in 2011 and the local distributor did a major discount on training classes.. I had never touch anything CAD before. I do the machining in evenings/weekends and work a different day job. I ended up taking all my vacation last year and going to the training classes.. No regrets, I use...

    iPad Stand

    Couple pics of one I lasered out of acrylic, and with smaller axles and my iPhone. My phone is the black one and is .65 thick with the otterbox case and the other is my daughter's with normal case. The angle is really slick when sitting at a desk, you see can see alerts that pop up without...

    iPad Stand

    I made shorter axles for the base that make it narrower to hold an iPhone. I'll post up a pic.

    iPad Stand

    I agree.. I plan to do it. I need some cooperation with weather so I can finish running some better ventilation for the anodizing tank. Once I do, I was going to do a couple different colors including the red in the pic.

    iPad Stand

    So something a little different.. My wife likes to cook and wanted a stand for her iPad to sit on the countertop to use for recipes while she cooks. Checked eBay and saw a stand that I halfway liked and decided to use the base design but modify it to my liking.. Anyway, drew up a 3d model and...

    Started building me a smoker !!

    Really looks great!! I've got an old air compressor I'm starting a build on for my wife and was wondering how to make it mobile. Any problems with it being top heavy (tipping) when moving it around? Also, what kind of gaskets did you use on the doors?

    Skyhook

    I got the 4th axis for my mill in December and have practically killed my back lifting it on/off and carrying over to the table. It weighs 160lb and with the chuck adding another 15-20lbs it is a back problem waiting to happen.. I ended up getting a skyhook jib and welding a cart up from some...

    Some Lathe Stuff

    I'm running the Fogbuster 1/2 gallon. It works pretty good, but I'm still trying to figure it out. I've noticed it will be putting out a fine mist out and then stop so I seem to always be turning the valve flow on the head to adjust to get the mist restarted. I haven't run any heavy cuts with...
