Saddle Stop Indicator Mount
DeereGuy:
Kenneth,
Ron's link is where I was going to point you. It sounds like you have the necessary chemicals and power supply. I would recommend you also pick up a PH meter. This stuff is far more sensitive than I thought with PH. I got this one off of ebay and it works very well.

I messed about for some time with different dyes and power supply.
I now use the Clairiant Dyes and mid temp nickle acetate for sealer. I have a couple of products I will be selling and wanted to make sure I got a good anodize job done. Here is a nice deep black I am getting now.

Kenneth,
Everything I am doing now is 6061 T6. Different alloys will take the color differently. So long as I keep all parameters the same through each step I get the same results. I went to a commercial dye and sealer at the same time so I can't comment as to what helped the most. I will need to invest in a chiller this summer. At 12 ASF I have to keep a close eye on the ano solution to keep it below 75 degrees.

Finally managed to get the wife to take pictures of it. :)
I was inspired by:

After redrawing the diagram in Metric I attacked one piece of Aluminium scrap with the Einhell Mini Mill. Which resulted in this:
Hopefully in the next year I will get my anodizing set up going and anodize it.
It's not much as far as a project goes but it's very useful and I highly recommend it to anyone with a 9x20 lathe.

Corvus,
Very nicely done part. I like how you took the time to round the edges and it looks like you might have sanded the surface also.
Jonny:
Lovely work Ken bet that took some time.
Gone totally off track here lets start a new thread in http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=4275.0

My Industrial arts teacher was a Swiss and really full of it about rounding edges as well as de-burring
It was a good habit to pick up for later use especially when working on firearms.
I did hand sand it with some 400 grit paper. I have the dyes and other chemicals and will do my anodising soon, now that the weather is starting to warm up.
