i've been inspired!!
« on: September 03, 2009, 02:53:37 PM »
having read a few of the topics on here i've been inspired to get back on track!!

i used to make all my own kit, but of late i've bought quite a lot of stuff i could have made, some of which i've had to improve/re make!
ive got some kit i made 27 years ago and it still works as good as the day it was made :bugeye:

i'm making a tapping guide this weekend, simple design and just what i need (i have an inability to tap a straight hole :()

i'll post pics when i've done, good or bad and successful or not :doh:

if i'd thought it through, i'd have never tried it

i've "designed" something to fit in a drill chuck so the tap follows the hole perfectly, i'll be able to use it in both the lathe and the mill.

thems brave words :)
