Cool! Best of luck with it! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

Those wallets look awesome. Are you going to start producing them to sell? ...Oh, and nice rack! ;)

Motobilt, that is awesome! I would have loved to have someone show me that kind of stuff as a kid! My dad's an engineer, and we're the reverse. Now that he's retired he's finally started to get interested in his garage and tinkering a bit, so he has projects and I'm encouraging him! :P So far...

Nines, sounds like you need project storage. An area where anything you aren't working on this very moment goes and sits out of the way until you can get to it. That way you aren't moving stuff all the time. It'll make you more efficient so you can be this guy more often: Sent from my B15...

Looks great, Claude! Only thing I can think to recommend would be to put a bit of a caption under the pictures of your past projects so that whoever's looking knows what you actually did (like the picture with Obama and two other guys standing in front of some kind of interstellar laser-gun and...

Try smashin' these pumpkins, ya little $h*ts!!! :P BD1, Have you tried the candle yet, is it a good enough distance to not burn the paint?

Thanks guys! Since I've been taking out some supports to work on the roof structure I'm thinking there is probably a bit of sag in the beams right now. Leaning towards renting tele-posts and a couple beams, getting them as level as I can and re-building the rest of the roof structure, then...

Hey GJ guys and gals. I've been working on refurbishing my garage for the last couple of years, and to be honest if I had known how bad everything was back then I would have just torn it down and built new. Unfortunately I don't have a time machine and have invested a fair bit of money and a...

Whoa!! Beautiful find! Mind if I ask what that stack set you back? Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

Awesome! Amazing work on that!! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

Looks plenty sturdy! What's going in between the two over-head doors you have framed?

Can't wait to see what you do with the place! Or what you create when the shop is finished. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

Nice! New job, side work from the old job, and now a CANADIAN MADE MILL? Ooooooo, you suuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!! [emoji14] Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

Awesome garage and projects! My dad's from Belgium, and let's just say that his family doesn't exactly turn wrenches :P so it's good to see someone over there who is okay with getting his hands dirty!! Can't wait to see what comes next, you certainly have an eye for design.

Haha Hey Bill, I'll get some measurements for you this week. I made it all from scrap we had lying around and just flying by the seat of my pants, so can't remember all the numbers and some of them might not make a whole lot of sense because I was limited to the amount of material I had to take...

Haha sorry to disappoint, Mike! [emoji14] I would have rather used the lathe to do the threads since I could use the practice (still pretty new to all this) but this just made sense for this project. Jar, you must think I work at a better machine shop than I do. [emoji14] We don't have a...

Thanks, Mike! I take that as high-praise coming from you, I've seen some of the stuff you've made and am always impressed. I didn't really work out a price at all, but I've had a few people ask. I'm saying $100, most custom hammers I see are more, so I figure it's fair. Plus I didn't really...

Super slow at work right now, so took some scrap and made a soft-face hammer. Brass handle, non-mag stainless steel head, brass spacers, and plastic and aluminum replaceable faces. Sounds like a guy I know might buy this one off me though, so I'm making a new one (It's going to be even cooler :P...

Those "Rotabroach" things you mentioned are just a coring bit I assume? Or are they something special I don't know about? Great looking table, can't wait to see the beautiful work that comes off of it! Edit: Nevermind, you answered while I was typing. :P

Yeah, a vacuum attached to the tool-post might help (like laser said) I remember someone suggesting that when I was turning some plastic that wouldn't make a chip. (long stringers of razor-sharp plastic are sketchy) I recently machined brass for the first time, it cut beautifully but WOW did it...
