I can interpret a couple tenths on a half thou per mark gauge easily, but that doesn't mean the measurement is absolute. I have more than one gauge which...

Let's magnify this work that is within a tenth- what does that look like? Then compare that to grinding your own telescope mirror, for instance. What...

Yeah, I have a camera- had it for years now. Problem is it won't stay in focus. It will auto-focus, then for seemingly no reason it goes way out. I find...

This shows it all. The brass bar in front has been pre-drilled for the set screws. It gets cut into 5 pieces, which are machined to make the pins. A...Last edited by darryl; 03-29-2023, 12:45 AM.

Add workshop to side of house
A friend is losing his workshop- place is sold, his new place has no room for the workshop. I have contemplated a few times to add a room onto the side...

Once again, a beautiful piece of work!
