Title: Some photos of completed projects
Post by: Pelallito on February 09, 2009, 06:41:28 PM
Here are some of the things that I have made.
Some where made in school and others at home. I had to dump some of the photos. This was first attempt at video, be kind.
School- a friend hot blued it for me. I have another school project, but no photos, yet.

Nice builds Fred, Looks like a little press for bushings etc?

The KMG is a really nice piece of kit too..... I've got to ask (it's compulsory!) ..... What's next on your list?



The video works for me :thumbup: If you have any longer ones in future you may need to try Youtube.... Photobucked rejected some of mine due to file size!! (well it was 8 min's long!)

Stew,
Here is the website for the real KMG-        http://www.beaumontmetalworks.com/index.html   
CS,
I never knew that the initials stood for that. :bang: Thanks for enlightening me.

Eric and Ralph,
it is a nice little press. The only parts I did not make, were the 4 allen screws holding the cover.

Bernd,
Unfortunately, I only have his first two books. I need to get the rest.

Spin,
I started on a G. Thomas 4" manual rotary table and got side tracked. I made the top, and got mad at myself and put it aside for a while. I took a small cut with my milling adapter in the lathe and it shifted. I truly dislike that thing! :hammer: I took a little too much material because of that. I will weld it up and clean it up. That blasted thing turned a brand new dovetail cutter into junk in the blink of my eye when I tried to cut the dovetail for the travelling steady. :bugeye: I ended up taking it to work and made it on our vertical mill.

Thanks for the kind words.
Regards,
Fred

PS Ralph, I had another small video that I took at the same time. I deleted it because I did not know I was filming at the time. I could see a great view of my shop safety sandals and calves along with the floor and walls. :D :)

Very nice workmanship there, that press looks like a lot of work and the belt sander looks really useful.

Nice..... :thumbup:

 :lol:  You should have kept it for future reference!  (all be it upside down!)  Just to laugh at mostly  :lol:


When you say "sandals" do you mean litterally open toed??? Brave man if you do, when working with knives!!!  :bugeye:


Made any new stuff lately? Finished any old outstanding stuff off?  :poke:  You got to ask ehh??  :)



Ralph.

Hi Ralph,
I just wear the sandals(yes they are opened toe) when I am in the shop taking photos. Normally I only go in there wearing shoes. I am a little daft, but I try to be safety conscious!
I am working on a project right now. I am glass bedding a 10-22 MOA rifle into a cherry wood stock. It is going fairly well so far. I have not glued it in permanently, so far. :bugeye:
I still have to tweak some of my previously finished tools that I posted.
Thanks for the enquiry.
Regards,
Fred
