    Spring is thawing you out...!!!! Frost is bad for our older boses... 🥶🥶🥶😎
    Glad to hear you're still thinking about being in the shop, V blocks are often your best friends when it comes to workholding rounded pieces, guess how I learned a long time ago...

      Hey Pierre!! Things have warmed up a bit and hope same with you now. Ever hopeful of more shop time but still awful limited for how long I can manage. Take care and ATB old buddy :)

    Hi Chris, good to see your smiling face. You've still got it buddy. Those spacers look like they will work perfectly. I think the small band saws are often under utilized and with a little ingenuity can be a quick and inexpensive way to get a job done.

    Gday Chris, welcome back, great to see you out in the shop enjoying yourself again, I have a power hacksaw and I’ve never thought about making a fixture plate like yours before, that’s a brilliant idea, your 3D printer looks great, one day I may have one, just to play with, I think it would be great for prototype works before you moo out a buy stock for the lathe, take away the guess work in a sense, anyway it’s awesome to see your looking well, please stay safe and take care, Cheers Matty

    • @ChrisB257
      @ChrisB257  4 года назад
