Fellow Tool Maker and Tinkerer!

[blackley1]

Hello everyone,

I got directed here by a comment on one of my videos I recently posted. I figured it would be a good time to start documenting some of the things I have been working on and the first thing that came to mind was a lathe boring bar spacer.

The long and short is: my tool post is 1" from the cross slide. and has a 3/8" gap the boring bar I have is 1/8 in dia and the cutting edge is 1/16" from the bottom so I needed to create a spacer to put under the boring bar and put in my tool post.

As I do not have a quick change tool post... yet.

After that project I decided to revive my RC car which is the in progress project. It is not making tooling which I understand is the focus of this form but it is a project that uses some tooling I have made.

I would love to get to know some fellow tinkerers and tool makers, most of the time to get something to work right you end up having to do it yourself!

If you have any questions, or comments feel free to send me a message, post on the video, or comment here below!
