Re: Made some tools today (pics)
newport dave, very nice. And even more so off a small machine like the 6" atlas. I have a 12" that's almost ready to start turning out some decent owrk, needs a few more adjustments to the gibs to get everything tight.
I'm saving your pics, I'll have to turn one down shortly..
wil7843: You're right the tooling and machines are a sunk cost. The only realy cost is my time and the raw material. Sometimes ya gotta make due with what you have, and it's easier for me to make things especially if I need it now and can't wait to have it shipped. On the other hand, when free time is short, and I can plan, it's easier to order what I'll be needing..
