How did it turn out? I had to drive to Randolph for a meeting and it was freezing rain the entire way. On the way home it was just rain, but that was almost 10.

Impressed with my insulation so far upstairs 800 sq ft was held to around 45 so far by a single 1500 watt space heater. And it was that even running at the time I checked it last night when it was -10. Wish I new where my kilowatt monitor was.

Built a stumpy numbs drum sander for endgrain cutting boards. Other then some spray adhesive issues came out pretty good.

Test on a small board made of cutting board scraps.

I really like my miller 211, but when I got it the price included a hefty rebate and a free spool gun.

This winter I am going to get myself a 3D printer, they are too cool.

Those cutting boards look beautiful!

Looks great! I made it home in one piece, unloading the pallet jack and the maple top now. Now you have to get the VFD and start making chips.

Thanks again for the tour, it was good to finally see the place in person.

Picked up a collet mount collet indexer bunch of tapping head and some useless stuff for 5o bucks at a local online auction.

[Strouty]

I see some live centers and what looks like a 5c collet holder.

 

[Orionrising]

yeah 5c collet holder and 5 c rotary indexer that i think works. (need to get a 5c collet to try)

not sure what size the live centers are for, but they are freakin big.

I think i have enough pieces to put togerther 4 of the nicer tapping heads.

 

[Strouty]

You get the VFD going yet?

 

[Orionrising]

Yeah got it running pretty good. Made holes in stuff so far. Been busy with stuff rebuilt brakes, went to California for a while, and just bought a woodlot I have been working at. Been a crazy few months since I was on here.

[Strouty]

Fun addition, should be useful, did you end up with an excavator?

 

[Orionrising]

Easier to rent a excavator then a dump truck anyway is my though process right now.

 

[Strouty]

Very true.
