Dream Cutter from San Diego, a machine tool maker.
Its great to see so many people inspired to make homemade tools. I invented a tool in my garage and now its selling in production as small business. I had a need to create custom bead rollers for my bead roller (a chain driven frame reinforced HF frankentool). I couldn't create the proper shape with my current lathe compound rest and tool holder so I started on a quest creating prototype after prototype to make the ultimate compound rest. It started with this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1q5k_QcBZ0 and ended with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-vBznUtrUg . Excuse the music and parting shot :evil:
Its been an interesting ride, and demand has been greater than expected. So we are taking it to the next stage now with the business but I still create a lot of home made tools and equipment. The past year alone I've made innovative things like a 50cal pancake flipper, "drive- through" dirt hauling trailer bays, and even a portable & secure, positive air-filtered, dust free IT server rack/closet for shop use outdoor environments. Pics were on Facebook but they were pulled when the page went commercial. I will have to dig them up and repost them here.
