Working on a storage project and needed a latch. Decided to buy something, instead of making one to save some time. Luckily, I found an old one in my stash, probably something my dad picked up at a garage sale a decade (or two) ago.
Got it installed and was testing the operation when the end of it snapped off. Probably brittle from age. Guess I will have to make something after all. Old plastic one next to the new aluminum one: Works as well as the original, and now I don't have to worry about it breaking any time soon.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts

Spent the day making Christmas ornaments. All of them were done on the new diode laser, still not thrilled with how the CO2 is working, but I'll get it.
Anyway, made 20 some ornaments, still need to do final cleanup and stain or paint or something to them. They're approx 2.5" round (plus/minus 10%). ![[Image: snowman-ornament.jpg]](http://metalshop.nobucks.net/pix/snowman-ornament.jpg) The wood is Sande plywood. I keep getting mixed messages on what to do with it. Some say it doesn't take stain well, others say it doesn't take paint well, others say it does both very well. Prolly have to experiment on some scraps.

I finally got the knobs done and ready for the scallops. These are what I used the Loctite on to attach the stainless steel threaded studs.

Quick project today, so that I can get to the real job. Very small t-nuts for my 4" rotary table. Roughly (and I DO mean rough!) 1/2" by 1/2" with a #10-32 hole.
Yes, they are ugly, uneven and the holes aren't even perfectly centered. But they will work, and now I can get on to the machining that I want to do.

And now the finished project. Ugly t-nuts above were to hold the flywheel to the rotary table to drill the holes.
May I present my version of the mrpete222 vertical steam engine: Base material is solid surface as used in countertops, body, head and crank are aluminum jig plate (gummy stuff to machine), flywheel is CRS.
