Custom level

Built a custom level.  It has 2 interchangeable vials with 10 second and 4 second accuracy.  The vials can also be used separate from the base via a mounting stalk such as on an indicator stand.

Soon...

Not much longer and I will be back in the shop!  Cannot wait to get to work, and in front of an actual computer. I've finished designs for fixtures we will need for the machining of the Caged Dice project.  Only having a design is frustrating.....  The real gratification comes from actually fabricating it! Lists of materials and suppliers are organized, tooling choices have been made and we have a good outline of the specific machining steps we will use.  Although I've been travelling, I've been busy buying materials, cutting tools etc.

Was not home for Christmas, but it's waiting there for me.

Painting

Getting better at using a HVLP airgun.  Every daughter need a college cruiser.

Killing 12 hours of time.....

I've had an entire day off and access to my photo library.   Here are a few things we got done this summer: Bedliner for the lathe chip tray and turret tailstock, DC drive system re-installed after complete overhaul.  Bought at DIY 2 part bedliner system and was very pleased with the results, wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
