That auto surfacing setup,.. now thats just cheatin,lolol.

I turned some of Chad's damascus into pivot screws.... The big one is Carbon damascus and the little one is Stainless damascus twist. I just heat colored them a little with my heat gun to see the pattern without etching them. My wife says they are pretty, so they must be good!

I believe you are correct. :)

[Allen Newberry]

Nice set up. Do you get much use out of the MAP arm?

[Les George]

I dont use it too much, just to profile and grind lock faces. Basicaly I dont do anything with it you cant do with a normal work rest but I like that it is easy to drop outta the way..... 2thumbs

[rvin1911]

He ain't building you nothing:haha:

[Denny Eller]

Don't tempt me :O

[Walt2]

Les, I saw where you said you are using a creramic material in your tumbler. The only ceramic material I have ever used was some that was made to be bead blasting material. What is the material you use and where do you get it? Thanks

[Les George]

Walt,

The media I have is for tumbling, not blasting. Mcmaster-carr seems to be as good a place as any to get it.... Here is the info on the stuff I run.

Hey Les. Just stopping by. Love the shop. You've got some equipment I need there. I like the hell out of that fixed blade in the passaround too.

[Les George]

Thanks man!

I need to take better pics, these are kinda hit and miss with what I have in the shop.... You rock! :)

Les, your not cookin' what I think your cookin' are ya?...

...I've seen that tube/wire/hose/container set-up before.

:)

[Les George]

No, dont be silly.......... :D



I keep that "stuff" in the house on the table where I eat breakfast.... ;)

[Bill Coye]

Okay good...just wanna make sure your set up in the house, not outside or in the shop where it can vent and off-gas.

:D

[Les George]

I like to keep all the fumes and gasses contained, that way they can't get out and cause trouble... ;)

[Walt2]

Thanks for the info Les. Sure do like the looks of your shop.
