We’ve been building something big….

It still blows my mind seeing how far around the world my designs get. I came across this video from Hans Forsberg in Sweden using my old vibrating hopper design entirely by chance!

Testing and programming fixture for a little electronics module. Just drops in, connects electrically, and then confirms the output function via an LED.

Front panels on, dies installed, in production 😎

Last of the series of three similar machines, a proper fire engine red one!

I’m using pneumatic/hydraulic amplifiers to bring my air pressure up to about 6 ton press force. The die sets are directly transplanted from their own old power presses.

It’s so much nicer to use now - less pinch points, quieter, much less maintenance. Proper !

The new machine is taking shape!

All coming together on the new clay lathe project!

I love my pneumatic tapping arm, but never seem to have the right damn tap holder. Turns out you can get ER and drill chucks on the same attachment, so can chuck all sorts of stuff into it that you shouldn’t 😂

On todays episode of “F**k Me, that was heavier than it looked” we have the main column of the next CNC clay lathe 😃

Tool time! I’ve had the green press frame sat on a shelf waiting for a new use for faaaar too long, and now it’s got it! 3d printed a holder for the soldering iron, and now it’s a hot nut press 😃

Haven’t been posting for a while (still in holiday mode!) but thought this might be interesting. It’s a custom profiled collet for holding the “fancy nut” parts I make. They need to look smart, so jaw marks are a no-go. This little guy just mates with the grip cuts for a nice rigid hold with no marring. Both parts are UTR8820 resin 👍🏻
