Metalworking

Latest Project

I modified my old Bencher BY-2 paddle to have a 1/8 inch mini-jack

Another common project for me is to make adaptors to Yaesu G-8xxx series rotors to the common TX-2 or tailtwister bolt pattern

I sell these, and they are P.O.R., as the raw materials (6" diameter 6061 slabs 1 inch thick) change in price dramatically

Older Projects

One of the first projects to use castings that I ever did is a PMR #3 engine in bronze. The quality of the castings was fantastic, and the finished model runs well. I really enjoyed working on this engine.

Stepster CNC

Recently, I was asked to pick up work on a CNC program for DOS. The Web page is HERE Page On hiatis

Alibre CAD/CAMThey actually have a FREE 3D Parametric Cad program (which I've used and like) and it LOOKS like they now have a free CAM program too! Once I go CNC, this is probably the way I'm going (with EMC for the machine control)
