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

[Inferno]

The next time my wife asks me why I keep buying hundreds of small magnets, I’ll show her this!

The best way to keep your wife from asking such questions it to not have a wife.
I might have over 5,000 magnets. And zero wives.
There was a time when I had a wife and no magnets.
I'm happier now.

Understood, some times it’s for the best! On other forums I’d say at least you have a friendly Dr but, this isn’t the place!

Her next question will be why you need so many Sharpies.

What's Roxanne's little sister's name? Syrah? Malbec? Cabernet? You like wine, and you obviously have a color preference, so put a cherry on top with a good name!

I made room. New machine coming to the shop Wednesday. It's a biggun.

Of all the things I make, room is far and away the most difficult.

Things are coming along nicely post disaster! Looking good!

Remember that this one I will have to sell before I move… three lathes is one too many…. Not going to give it a name or else I will become sentimentally attached to it…it was my first after all….

So- two's a hobby, three's a company.

Project 1 for the weekend. I called Miller for advice on tapping Vsense and trigger leads on my plasma, and enjoyed a great chat with the dev team. The way Miller works is they assign 4-5 engineers to a product, and after it's developed, the team continues to provide tech support. You talk to an engie that developed the product, not some dude in a call center in Mumbai (sorry Lincoln). He set me straight, then we chatted it up for an hour because it was good conversation. I pulled the orange and gray marine wire through and tied it in all professional like. Still waiting for a circular plug because of the supply chain s***show. Nobody stocks nothing no more.
