Custom Made Decorative Bolts
Added 2018-11-30 04:06:31 +0000 UTCI spend some time in the fabrication shop catching up on an old project that should have been done many months ago - but I could not be happier with the results. Enjoy!

it's quite relaxing to watch you work. Everything so deliberate and precise. It's sort of like a meditation in metal. Even when it's time to address an unforeseen issue.

2018-12-05 02:29:29 +0000 UTCI think you accidentally referred to your center drill as an end mill at the start of the video. ............ Somebody had to say it π. Love anything with knurling on it. Hope the move is going well.

2018-12-01 15:07:00 +0000 UTCA small handful of questions, if you might indulge me Fran... Did you happen to hone this skill by making your own knobs for effects pedals? Do you always do knobs one-at-a-time like this (rather than sizing the whole bar, marking all the boundaries, filing all the bottoms, knurling all the sides, chamfering all the tops, parting everything off)? If so, is there a specific technical reason (like improved rigidity of the piece while it's being worked), or is it just preference?

2018-11-30 16:38:19 +0000 UTCI'm totally envious - love the ability to turn your own hardware from metal! I'm impressed that you have metalworking skills in addition to electronics. Great job!
2018-11-30 15:54:41 +0000 UTCWow, that is some sexy parts right there. I might go making the same on the lathe in the local hackerspace. A small details, isn't that endmill called a center drill?

2018-11-30 04:49:29 +0000 UTCYou have a lathe and you left it alone for MONTHS!?! I didn't know such a thing was possible.
