Winter is definitely on the way. Ending the day covered in mud after laying ash on Snow White.  Still with a smile on my face.

Working my way up from turning small spacers to following more complex drawings.

I made a stand to hold the sand paper in the workshop. I turned it into a bit of a project to do in down time using the mill and the TIG welder. I used the mill to cut the arc out of the ends of the 10mm steel rod. Then welded it all together.

I’m currently working on Gravity for Neil Corbould Sfx.  I’ve been learning new skills on the lathe and mill. Turning steel, aluminum and delrin. Making spacers, pulleys and plates from technical drawings accurate to 0.05 of mm
