Greg:
You are a Michelangelo of metalworking (AND woodworking) ! That is beautiful tooling - well conceived, designed and executed. It's a statement of how the concept of "form following function" can result in eye-catching work like yours. I really like that cool tool height gage but it's all great !
Being a complete hack, I could never summon the patience (and skill) to create tooling like that. BTW, are the holders bead-blasted or maybe acid etched, the finish is very attractive ? (I usually just torch my parts and drop them into a can of used motor oil, ha-ha-ha.)
Is that a HVL-H ?
P.S. I'm curious - why use the QCTP to hold your two inch boring bar instead of making a sturdier holder for it ?
