Encouraged by Anthony, here's photos and some links to some of the stuff that keeps me out of mischief :)

A small gas turbine built in 2012.




Photobucket link to a slide show of the build.

Some mods made to an X2 mini mill, this is still a work in progress.

Hi Steve,

I perused the pictures. I had been playing with Acytal to do bearings as well.. but never got very far. How do you like them?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for looking in.

I like the acetal nuts a lot. The thread here at homeshipmachinist got me started on them. They are fairly easy and quick to make but it does take a little bit of time and fiddling to get them just right.

They have good and bad points.  Good points: Zero backlash and very low wear. Bad points: They are temperature sensitive.  A nut made at 20 oC will be tighter at 0oC and looser at higher temps, but as I get older I prefer the shed temps to be around 20 degrees C so its not that big of a drawback.  The lesson here is make the nuts at the temperature that they will be used at.

Regards,

Steve.
