Very nice Rob,  
Just wondering what did you use to cut the slots in 'holding arms'?

Mike,

John was referring to the cleanliness of your shop. It's immaculate, like a hospital operating theater.

Very nice work gentlemen. Rob, I am curious as to why your weldment looks like a casting- I assume it is sandblasted on the non-contact side? Looks terrific however it's done.

A lot of the tools I have made are butt ugly, as they are often made for one off jobs or don't need to be pretty.  In fact, some are uglier than a hat full of busted arseholes!

Here are a few:

Small drill chuck on a handle - very handy for deburring holes and holding small round bits when using a bench grinder.

Wheel rim forge - mainly used for annealing tough steel and melting small volumes of aluminium to make round stock.

Wrench for the spindle locking nut on my mill.

Tool for fitting the bearing for the knee elevation screw into the knee on my mill.

Wheel adapter puller and pin wrench for my surface grinder.
