Building Christmas presents.
Julia uses and collects fountain pens so we made a storage box out of cherry. Still need to add dividers to the drawers and get a flocking kit to make a fake felt cover in them.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Thanks,
Another present in the works. Charlie is always working on a bicycle so santa is bringing him a bike work stand. This mounts on a 2 inch vertical tube and clamps the frame. The jaws will be lined with leather for a non marring surface, the lead screw was salvage from a car scissor jack, the claps are split cotters.

Not enough relief, the endmill has slipped in a collet, or there's a lot of flex in the mill. The full circle here is saying something: Well I found part of the problem.... I went ahead and tried taking a skim cut with a 1" 4-flute HSS endmill. MUCH better! Time to get the ring off of the arbor and turn it into a broach bushing. Won't be long now. (Famous last words...)

Meh. No shiny cameras here I'm afraid. The ratchet pads are now .010" under size in height since I had to cut out the chatter marks from the other end mill. You can still see small ghost areas on some of them because I wanted to trim off as little as necessary to get them 'flat'. There are a few 'witness marks' that remain but the press won't care. Ten thou won't make a bit of difference to the press handle or ratchet pawl. It's like a honey badger....
I think the difference in material strength will more than make up for the slightly smaller dimensions of the teeth/pads. It's just the principal of the thing - you know? But as I said before.... I NEED the practice! Obviously.
