    Carbonfiber?

    I use it from time to time and dislike it for the reasons Mr. Caffrey mentioned an more. It's itchy stuff even with long sleeves. That said I used to get it from black site carbon fiber. I'm not even sure they're still in business. I stocked up a little while back before I was even competent...

    Todays oopsie daisy- learning hollow grinds

    Shop Weirdness stories; gremlins, ghouls, and plane strangeness

    I wanted to make a thread to vent my recent gremlins in the shop story (and my frustration) but I thought while I'm at I'd ask for your stories. Any story you'd like to share from gremlins breaking the shop to stuff constantly turning up missing. And for the person that makes me LOL the most...

    Thumb jimping

    I mark my blades for line spacing and then bandsaw the cuts, and then lightly bandsaw the top edges of the cuts, and finally clean it up with a triangular file. I've been meaning to get a checkering file but I always seem to have order tooling needs that are priority.

    Urban Menace

    Haven't been able to work in the shop much this past year. Seems like every time I try to move up to full time status something comes up and bumps me down to hobbyist. Anyway, here's a new design I had a little while back and managed to finish. Worked on it while catching up on the few orders I...
