Let's see the cool stuff you make! Official "show off thread"

[SmileDocHill]

Ok, so not really a product. More like the workstation to be ABLE to make stuff.
While not complete, this will be my "light" project workstation, I'm working on a heavy workbench next.
This one has a modified dental lab unit (think Cadillac of Dremels) with in integral vacuum. I put a cyclone dust collector inline to prevent having to buy proprietary filters. Magnet bur bar with modified goodwill shelf to protect the burs. The vacuum hood is removable until needed. The only thing attached to the counter top is the magnet bur bar.
The drill press is a temporary location.
Yes it's rough, I'm trying to use existing scraps and fb marketplace materials.
Eventually my cobbler sewing machine will swing on/out to the table.
Small tinkering, sewing, gun cleaning...

A hunter with a forged in distal taper and a tapered tang. 80crv2 steel, and thuya burl scales. And yes, I braided the lanyard myself

And the sheath.

So I'm in the finishing stages of the scotch yoke steam engine build, when I decided the 45's on the piston (connecting) rod support did not look right I thought the partners a radius to look correct.....a quick and dirty shop made fixture, punch a few buttons on the DRO, move the X & Y axis a few times this is the finished part....much better if you ask me

 

[Frosty]

Been a busy couple weeks! They are having a little car show at the fairgrounds next month and asking for vendors. I thought I’d give it a shot. If I don’t sell anything I’m only out $10 so what the heck. Now I just need to do a whole lot of leather work!

From years gone by, when I once made pens regularly.

A bracket to hold the intake pipe on my steam engine.....almost done with this build....

 

[Frosty]

A few sheaths finished today, only need to make like 5 more

 

[Frosty]

Couple more sheaths finished up. If I didn’t have arthritis in my knuckles before this I’m definitely going to after!

 

[Frosty]

My last sheath is done, minus the one I had to remake because my dog ate it

 

[Frosty]

One more and I’m taking the rest of the day off!

 

[Itchytriggerfinger]

I made some bucee's patches with funny hair.

 

[Lpherr]

Just a simple set of 1911's.

I've been turning the square blocks that I cast a few months ago, into rods to see how they look.

This seriously pushed my skill level, but man it turned out clean! I’m half tempted to keep it for myself

MAN! Is that a sharp looking knife!
No pun intended.

 

[Lpherr]

And a pen.

 

[AllenM]

I will probably regret posting a pic of this because I am not taking on this kind of Cerakote work. But I did one for a close friend and thought it came out well and I wanted to share.

Thank you!
