Just realized I need to add an adjustment bolt -The one that goes through the idler wheel arm and contacts the back of the idler wheel (or tracking wheel).

--Finished grinder video added I've had Solidworks on my work PC for a while now, and finally got some time to try to learn it. I've been at it for about a 3 weeks now, and I finally started getting the hang of it. There are still some things I can't do yet, but I'll figure them out eventually...

Rex, I don't think I'd have the patience for this. lol

Mixed reviews on this. Some do, some don't. You would be suprised at the pros or well known makers that don't. Personally, I think it it works fine either way.

That's awesome. I wish I had a CNC. I will get one someday.

I need some Ti for doing frame locks and pocket clips. If you have any laying around that won't get used let me know. I'll pay a reasonable price for it :)

Instead of trying to make that work, why not use a small sanding disc arbor like this? You need an arbor for your setup instead of that drill. If I were closer I could turn one for you. No big deal really. The arbor above goes to my headlight polishing kit. What you need is one of the...

Rex, What ya got goin on tomorrow? I may be able to spin up there. We are taking Haleigh to the fair tonight and going to see Luke Bryan, and I have to work until later today, so maybe tomorrow.

Sold, Thanks

That is a nice job, hate you had to get rid of it. I considered painting mine, but I was really anxious to use it.

Rex, If you ever pick up another one, just let me know and I'll be glad to do it for you. No big deal. I may have to keep it a few weeks, but I don't mind helping a fellow maker out :) Just be sure you invest in a mill other than the harbor freight version. I suggest you check out the LMS...

Got the column and head assembly done. It has been done for a week or so now, but I've been busy and haven't been able to update the thread. I ended up putting about .003 worth of shims under my column/base flange. This brought the not to within .0005". When I mounted the head, I made sure it...

If you haven't seen this already check it out: http://KnifeDogs.com/showthread.php?18746-MDA-Slipjoint-WIP The stuff is crazy brittle. I would say that it does shrink as well. The problem that I have the most is the alternating hard and soft spots. Drilling it is difficult because the drill...

Maybe this will help..I recently had a slippy that I kind overpeened the pivot on. I stuck pennies down into the liners and drove them in in several places gently to spraed the liners. They are soft enough to where they won't mar most liner materials. They also vary in thickness, so if you have...

I wouldn't think so, but I'm no pro either. I'd like to hear Todd Davison's take on this. That's the only thing I don't like about that particular area. Very hard not to hit the kick with a sander or overly round off the corner between B and C as you say. This will, as you know, make a...

Looks like some nice work. :)

You may have seen this in my tutorial, and I figured it may be a little help here. This is a direct quote from Mr Bill Vining's post on how to make a Texas Toothpick. This is the absolute best way I have ever seen this explained and he has permitted me to include this in this tutorial...

Lookin good!

Good deal, Thanks Tracey.

What kind of heat are you talking about? What temp? Thanks
