Custome stuff you have made for your mill

Great job,I have been a machinist for over forty years .Nothing like having one of a kind pieces you make yourself.The problem is people see it appreciate what you did then steal it and have it cloned.I really have to give you credit keep it up.Joe

 

Thanks guys! I have been a machinist for almost 10 years and love it! working with all types of metal is a lesson by it self, but its worth it when you can say you made it and it works. The tap I used was a OSG 3/8-18 plug tap. The trick when drilling for a tap hole in stainless is go slow rpm and hard on the feed so you don't case harden the hole you are about to tap. I used Tap Magic. I love the way it smells like maple syrup!

 

Rogue63, Your rite that happens a lot. That's why If I see something I like I try and put my own spin on it to make it my own. That's what makes it our own baby.

 

My friend and I made a single plane crank and cam from bar stock for a cut in half 283 Chev....No pics but I still have the crank and cam.

 

Cool, Too bad there are no pics. That sound interesting! I love modifying anything stock!

 

I should have taken pics, But tonight I drilled and taped for Helicoils in both my Weiand heads spark plug holes from the wear and age. No mater how many times I use helicoils I still screw up at least one. Hot roding is a humbling toil! But still loving it!

 

28, know what you mean about helicoils on my Weiand heads I made a 3/4 inch thick plug that I welded into the existing spark plug holes, a stepped plug that allowed me to weld inside and outside now I can use 3/4 reach plugs opened up a whole new world.........as I hate helicoils for spark plug repair..........

 

They are a pain to instal but at least you are fixing a vintage peice of history to run it! That's great! I love improving old racing equipment. Its history evolving.

 

Oh, 28 jalopy. If only your spelling skills matched your fabricating skills......but seriously, very nice work.

 

My mama always told me a smart man was like hot roding, You could build a 1/4 mile car but You could always blame the school system for your failures on everything else! Or its the PBR. Ha Ha! Thanks Rancid737

 

made my intake manifold for my desoto powered T

 

Cool! I love the high runners. Looks like you get plenty of torque!

 

Been working on my homemade dash today. Made a oval stainless insert that I engine turned for a vintage look With laser cut bomber bezel's I made from work last week.

 

I know its not part of the motor, but its the next part of monitoring the vitals.

 

CheaterRome, you buddy's Italmeccanica blower setup if crazy!!! That just blew my mind.

 

Here's a home made fuel log for the hemi.

 

I like it! And I like the intake manifold.

 

Thanks. I'll be selling the intake with two fours with S&H aircleaners , A/C bracket, alternator bracket and power steering bracket in about 6 months, I hope.

 

Finished the headers tonight! Made a set of lakestyle headers with 1-5/8 16 gauge tubing on a set of 1-5/8 to 3-1/2 30" long 16 gauge megaphones with 1/4 custome cut flanges.

 

made these for my buddies car and another couple for mine but don't have any pic of my mill.

 

Nice job with the water jet! Sure beats the old stamping process.

 

Anyone else?

 

Hers a air cleaner I make for my three duce nice match with my cal custom valve covers LOL

 

Very inventive! I think it looks cool. Better than a lot I have seen on the market.
