Title: Fabricating Tools - NGC
Post by: pehayes on December 02, 2018, 11:00:50 AM
For those of you who tinker with lathe and mill and try to build you own custom tools.  I stumbled upon this while searching for a technique.  This guy is obviously quite a competent machinist.  But, you'd better be wearing a substantial sense of humor to watch his work.  Worth your time to go through to the very end.

Um, technical instrument.  That would be a CAT-alytic CONVERTER.

PURR-fect shop tool.

After he fed the poor kitty the turnings (you could hear him munching them down) I expected more than just a Purrrrrr-fectly shaped pivot rod in the kitty litter. Like... maybe the kitty morphed into something else?

A mill is one thing that's missing in my workshop.

I don't know how I survived without the lathe, it is just so useful.

A guy *needs* a lathe, mill, drill press, and band saw.  :smiley:

 that kitty must have a sore butt.
And I don't believe flipping a righthand tap makes it into a left hand tap.
 And it was nice to show that the kid was the real genius of the show.
And I can do without the soundtrack that follows after you leave the page.

How right you are, Chuck. You just can't expect to live a full life with privations that serious. :grin:
