    Nice!!! :cool: For anyone that doesn't know--- that's a smoke'n deal on a 3 bar composite. There's a lot of work represented in that billet, especially being so clean and showing such control. :1:

    The best sandpaper

    I realize this is "necroposting" or whatever, but after having spent several months working with both Norton Black Ice and the Rhyno Red stuff that Deker mentioned, I have to give my favor to the Red stuff. In my nerdy brain, I want to believe the fancy Norton stuff has to be better, but from...

    Jigs: Curse or Cure?

    I really like Les's point about people having a passing knowledge of something. I think about 98% of the folks who get their panties in a twist about machining equipment would have a change of heart if they actually signed up for a couple of machining classes. It's only easy when you don't...

    hidden tang glue-up fixture

    Thanks guys :) Jim, that is an EXCELLENT idea. I was going to use some rubber or leather, but the little pads would be a lot better and could be sized to the bolts. Most of the time the handle will still be in a block form when it goes in here, but those pads would sure work well if it's...
