POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

Espresso machine lever was rough... I have taken it apart several times to polish the main lever cam shaft... replaced all valves... and it would be smooth for a few shots and get rough again... Well, today I decided to figure out what the problem was. Turns out it was a simple fix. This...

I guessed, from his low message count, that he might be resurrecting ancient history.
I also knew that I wasn't going to page through this thread to find it.

So, do you have a photographic memory or did you search it out?
If you searched it out, that is practically a POTD in itself. :grin:
 
And here I thought I was the only one picked on by the masked bandits. Omnivores, I cant keep feed and grain around unless I store it in our shipping container. As a kid I would sell the pelts, but they don't bring enough to justify messing these days. The battle rages on although I know I will never get them all.

I remembered seeing the post with the tool but had to search for the actual post to share the link… :)

So, I knew the post. And it even predates me here.

When I click on an email from the forum on my phone, chrome brings me to the first page. I've seen that post many, many times now...

I remembered it because he made, not only the tool, but the box to store it as well. I think I remember seeing his original post before there were issues with the server here... pretty sure I remember seeing more than just that photo...
 
wachuko's search fu is awe inspiring - he found a post about some chucks I bought that I forgot I even made after I sold them to him for less than I posted I paid for them, doh :D

That's why I like this forum. Those "Oh Duh!" moments of pure simplicity! (Stashing this brass tipped steel rod idea away now... :) )

That work by @dewbane reminded me of the steady rest I made years ago.
The circle was aluminum scrap from another project.
The angles were cut from a square aluminum block that I needed to make round. They were triangulare, but I cut flats in order to bolt it to the circle.
Three 3/4" or so threaded rods, with nuts on each side of the block.
If you zoom in real close, you'll see a brass screw in the end of each threaded rod.
All of this was done on an Atlas Craftsmand 12x36. . . the milling being done with a homemade milling attachment.
