Hi all!
New member here, looking for ideas to make tools for my metal working. I currently have 4 lathes HF, Jet and 2 South Bends. Two Milling machines one manual and one CNC and a CNC Router along with a shop full of other stuff. You might call me obsessive and you'd probably be right?

I live in Central Orygun with my wife and two dogs on our small acreage where I collect Scoopmobile loaders, hence the nick name.

Thanks all for your time!
George

Hi George - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you have your hands full! What are you working on now? Do you see any projects here that you might add to your build list?

Hi George,

Welcome!

That's quite a machine shop setup!

Of all the homemade tools you've made, which is your favorite?

Thanks Ken!

Right now it's the off setting tail stock center. I needed to make some MT3 tapers so this has been invaluable as I don't have a taper attachment yet. Once finished I intend on making a couple quick change tool posts and holders for the two SB lathes I have.

Hey George,

Sounds good. Let's see a few pics of the tailstock center…

Thanks guys;

Ken, I'll try and get a picture or two if I can find it?

DIYer You have no idea how stuffed it really is. I recently retired and closed my sign business, so all the woodworking stuff still needs to be removed.
