Made some acrylic fume hoods for a local chemical testing facility.

#3dprint on this reducer flange turned out nice. 100% infill with ABS The taper should help get a bit extra out of my dust collection. Spent the day doing some shop #optimization and #organization

Recent work project, raffle tumbler. Gamblers everywhere.

Made some progress on the table project. Even pre glue the base is quite stable. I'm getting better at joinery for sure! #woodworking #woodcrafter #joinery #makestr #craftsman #table

Merry Christmas and happy birthday!!!!

For those following my table build, got the main portion of the top glued up today. Next step will be taking picks and chisels to the deadwood and sealing it with some epoxy. #woodworking #woodcraft #craftsman #makestr #artisan

Some 1/2" acrylic display cases I threw together for a customer with sliding doors.

Ran 250 of these on the #laser for the re opening ceremony at a local #library that my friends employer refinished. Coaster wood matches the wood all over the library. #woodworking #makestr

All back together. Only took me about 9 years to get around to fixing it up.

We ended up with this super worn turret lathe a few years back for $500 and used it for a few small bushing jobs that more than paid for the machine. I decided that justified fixing it up so i pulled it all apart and brushed/picked about 70 years worth of grease and chips out of every crevasse. Redid some electrical, put on some new belts, adjusted all the gibs, re greased everything and now painting it and getting it all back together. Always fun to bring something new life. #makestr #fabricator #rebuild #trashtotreasure #machine

Tried a new joint. I can improve fitment but core concept looks good. #woodworking #craftsman #makestr #joinery

I think I found my table top in the boards. Now to plane it all to thickness and join it. I'm thinking biscuits and pva for the center and slot mortise with dowels for the endcaps to allow the opposing thermal expansion some slack. Hopefully that makes for a long lasting top. I'll use black epoxy to fill the voids. Finish size will be 72x38. #Woodworking #craftsman #joinery #makestr #art

There is a #Table in here some where. I'll find it. #woodworking #woodcraft #craftsman #joinery #makestr

That's a big museum box. Tried some new stuff and ended up with crystal clear welds. Very happy with how this one turned out. Nearly 4'x8'x2' out of 3/8 cast acrylic.

#petershiff sent me this. He seemed very excited.

Speaker grills for some really fast boats.

I really gotta talk the boss man into buying a CNC lathe. Doing this on a manual was tedious. HDPE bushings. All tolerances within .005" (at least until it goes somewhere warmer or cooler) #maker #mechanicals #tradesman

Built a #wedding arch out of Douglas Fir. No fasteners. All #joinery. T- bridle on top, mortise and tenon for upright to base, slot mortise for 45° supports and lap joint for the base. Fun #project and now I want to try building a timber frame barn lol. Also.... I really want a mortiser. Doing that with a chisel was super time consuming. #makestr #woodworking #craftsman

I had a very intetesting project come in that required some creativity in producing. The customer required an 8' panel with a 3" radius bend to fit in a dado. I built a form to control the radius then took some cal rod heaters to heat the material. The radius was so wide that it couldn't evenly heat the material, leaving 3 individual bend lines and a very unsatisfactory result. Solution? Ceramic flooring tiles spread down the length. Worked a charm to get the job done. Part turned out beautifully. Only issue.... almost burned down the table. I'll have to solve that problem if I ever stumble my way into another similar project.

Getting things together to build an arch for my cousins #wedding. Wood only. Gonna practice my #joinery. #woodworking #craftsman #makestr
