Making big parts on an even bigger machine. That’s an 8” in chuck looking mighty small on a 24” rotary table.

Last call to throw your name on the list for this project. Going to shut it down tomorrow morning. Work has already begun fabricating this edition.

Ok folks. The link for this sign up is now live. If you want to add one of these works to your collection, the time to do so is now upon you. Link under the bio, my blog, and in your inbox if you are on my email list. That is all and have a lovely day. #makeartnotparts

I’m putting together a pre-order for these works for Tuesday Feb24 at 11AM EST. As ever, I try to keep the sales-y bit of this adventure to an absolute minimum, but if you want to add one of these works to your collection here is the time and place to support my work. A link will show up under my bio per usual, and then vanish a week later. #makeartnotparts

After many weeks away, Buster the traveling shop cat came back for a visit! This time I was able to convince him to come inside and take the tour. Eventually I got him up to the office for a short relax. But before long he was off again.

Here is the answer to my earlier post. Basic turning, drilling, and boring ops first, then two 4 axis milling ops flipping and indexing the part. Then the final turning op to free up the ends is done with a large plug in the bore to keep the part from collapsing. Worked perfectly the first time.
