A little project leaving you all a glow....

Holy asterisks!!!
You weren't kidding about the crash!
I don't know if you have watched my videos? But they show the order I do these in. and the way I support the shaft while milling.
Although the version I make like this is sped up 16x it shows what you now know about orders.
Each cut I put on is only ~0.20-0.30mm due to the length of work sticking out it needs to be delicate. (I know... After the horse has bolted!)
Still, looks like you're going to get a good un after all this practice :thumbup:
Bout the face mask..... At least you'll know where to go for the next one :thumbup: I'll need to replace mine soon (or the visor bit) they soon scratch up and look a little misty. When I look at all the oil, swarf and stuff I wipe off it that would have been in my face, it's money well spent!
Good luck with your next go.... Take it easy :dremel:

OK, well had another "crack" at it tonight, and although not perfect, I do know where I can improve but for tonight I kinda cheated and used the original screw cap I made, hence it does not fit exactly, I could part off the one I used to hold it, but thought I would continue to use that for holding work in the future :)
Anyway, here is my attempt, its been great fun and I am glad I decided to give it a "bash" :thumbup:
Thanks for sharing this project as without it I would not have learnt what I have learnt :thumbup:

Sweet! :headbang:
Well done that man :nrocks:
Looks well and glows well... My prototype has the tap "teeth" in it. I figured out how far to send the tap and everything else as I went through the next few. I was actually thinking of sending the tap all the way to the top on one of the next ones... Leaving the "teeth" effect there as part of the styling? Might work? Got to buy more brass rod first... Gone through 2ft of it in the last few weeks :dremel:
About parting off the arbour to make the cap. Not telling you what to do but more why I would.... I know that when you're first starting out doing these things you might find making the threaded arbour a chore and as you said, you can use it for more.
Most basic reasons why I'd say make one for everyone individually
1/ obvious, you know this from your write up. They match up.
2/ you will only get better and more able at making such parts with repetition. (don't know if it was an issue?) I know I used to hate making threads and then re-making them Parting off used to be a nightmare too! But now I just do it cause it's such a quick part of the job.
As said, just trying to point this stuff out. You may be fully aware and just wanted to get it done? :)
I've been playing tonight.... Got some experiments done. Shall we say they look promising.....
I'll get some faffing done and then post a few pic's in a bit :thumbup:
Very pleased that you've gotten one made and posted it... I know of one other completed version so far. Maybe he'll post a few pic's on here soon? But I know he's also experimenting with his designs.
Init awesome having the machines to make fun stuff?!?! :borg: :proj: :borg:
