    Home made tools

    I came across this link on another forum. It is a machinist forum and this is their page for home made tools - upto 173 pages now but some very simple ideas and some very skilled machinists aswell. Happy trolling.
    Or add your own to this thread.

    you know the story that when you have a hammer everything begins to look like a nail....

    if you're anything like me, no, you probably dont want a lathe or a mill...

    I have a lathe but I'd like a better one. This is my third lathe. They get bigger each time.

    I kept a 14" x 40" Liangdei toolroom lathe from my machine shop. I would have preferred to have kept the 8' Colchester but didn't have the room for it. And there was the big chinaman, 20' between centres. Bought it for its scrap value and sold it for the same a few years later. Damn good machine.

    So my lathes have been shrinking.

    I assumed you'd be a precision tool kinda guy Dave...
