Thank you! Yes, removing drill bits and installing roll pins tomorrow… Only thing left to do is the bolts that go on the c-clamp and the locking block…
But tested with regular bolts and it is working!
Thank you! Feels good to see it actually working , lol… builds my confidence to tackle some of the kits that I have and did not wanted to start until I learned my way aroud the lathe and the mill…
Well, not starting any of the kits just yet… still need to practice more…and work smarter… Made several mistakes with this one that did not impacted the final product… but I learned what to look out for…
What kits do you have?

I spent the afternoon cutting up stock for my kits. Not my favorite shop activity but there is a Zen state to be reached. I worked my trusty old band saw so hard I broke a spring (or some damn thing). 
. My band saw is a "Power Fist" from Princess Auto, (think Harbor Freight but less quality ha ha). I shouldn't complain she has done pretty well for the last 12-16 years. Does anybody have a source for these springs that put tension on the "head assembly" of as horizontal band saw?

Kits For The Home Shop Machinist/Tinkerer
Kits for the home shop machinist. Hi my name is Doug Gray thanks for stopping by my shop. I'm am the sole proprietor of D. Gray Drafting and Design. I lovingly create all the kits you see here in my shop. Everything from creating the drawing to assembling all the materials and packaging them up...
d-gray-drafting-and-design.myshopify.com
And there is the Acute Sharpening System from Eccentric Engineering - I finished the table but still have the rest to finish…. And have not done so because that work arm looks a bit intimidating… I am afraid to mess up a part… I will tackle it in a few months…
Pretty sure I am forgetting something…
What kits from Hemmingway did you get? Ive debated the rotary broach. I have seen the acute sharpening system but now that i have a surface grinder i feel i dont need that anymore. Im good using my hands making cutters but im going to make Mr. Petes south bend cutter blocks he just did on YouTube and use them on the surface grinder bc why not!

Made new clearance lamp brackets for my Aluma trailer that had them OEM mounted ON TOP of the darn fenders!!
Both had been broken TWICE before I bought it used a few years ago.
Finally got around to relocating them where they should have been in the first place.
The plate on top covers several holes that were used for the other mounts, only bits and pieces of which were left.
And no, it's not crooked, just a bad camera angle!
