Made this for my bride for her birthday. Makes me think of an erector set from way back!

Long over due to get a stand under this vise. The feet are 13" diameter and formed in a hemisphere, 3" diameter x 32" tall legs, 44" diameter foot print, folding handle to move it like a wheel barrow

This jack is as big as I've seen, 3" diameter screw. I like the soft curves of the jack and harrow disc. The concept is to tilt and roll, to move it, if I can get the geometry and center of gravity right.

So then, Kevin and I started chatting about another joint venture project a couple months ago. We landed on building another vise from scratch. Discussed design, size and any features desired. We ended up with a 3 jaw design, with similarities to an Emmert The slide is 3ea 1-1/2" hardened ground...

With every project needing a plan, the drawing board is essential to success. I've always just used a straight edge, with triangles, protractor and dividers for laying out. Now, I finally have a drafting machine fastened to the board. It should really speed design and drawing time.

First project is a 5’ +/- earth globe framed with 5/8” round bar. While I believe the continent’s could be scaled with latitude and longitude, I don’t relish the thought of having to go that way. I hope I can find a way to get a file in the right scale and have them printed to be used as...

This project started with a conversation with Kevin Scott about fixing the swivel jaw pin and It snowballed from there. I need to disclose that in no way, shape or form am I machinist and this would not have happened without a ton of help from Kevin Started with cleaning up the swivel base surfaces

Here’s a wrecker cobbed together out of roller skate wheels, rusty 1/2” square tube, turnbuckle, chain, bearings and misc pipe and tube. It’s for our youngest grandkid and he is crazy for anything on wheels. Royce

Since the format changed, I can’t seem to find the albums I had. Are they no longer here? Or am I not looking in the right place? Thanks Royce

Weather vane made from a old riveted piling point, 4” copper tube, a sewage pump float, table top bracket and misc ****. The compass bearings are purposely wrong, for fun. Royce

Marked St Pierre Worcester Mass USA It has a fork on one end and a slight serrated heel on the other. The ends are forged, jumped onto 5/8" hex stock. Found out that it was made by St Pierre chain corporation, founded in 1920. They were a chain manufacturer, who in 1928 branched out into...

There are two things that bother me about my fab table, lack of storage and it being a chore to clean under it. So then, started a new and improved version. This one is being built over a 30" wide X 28" tall Vidmar box. The top is a blind flange, 41-3/4" diameter X 2-1/4" thick. Royce

Took some time and cleaned the shop some, it really needed it. Welded some chain links on most of the vise grips and gave them a squirt of oil, a good upgrade I feel. Royce

A dear friend provided me a once in a lifetime vise, that I thought I had the perfect stand for. After setting it on the stand, they looked crazy wrong together. Nothing left to do but to make one that hopefully does the wonderful vise justice. Royce

Got Santa's shop opened up, for the season. One of my daughters sent me a pic of a tensegrity table, which is a table that appears to be floating in air. My thought is to use the same principal for a chair. So, after some research, a foot of pencil lead and a yard of eraser, got the base cut...
