I build things and tinker, and I Am Canadian!
A few Facebook groups like Canadian pl8s, Kijiji, eBay, Poshmark. Flea markets and the Facebook buy and sell, I did a ton of research to figure out exactly what I wanted then did a super targeted approach. The new Brunswick one was surprisingly the hardest to find
As an Albertan who's lived in BC, the Yukon and now Newfoundland, I love this country so much. If you are looking for any advice on anything please send me a message
Dude I would be tickled pink if someone else copied my design!
Quebec was the most satisfying when the other 3 provinces puzzle pieces in perfectly, NWT was the most challenging to make it all fit and to cut perfectly smooth along all those edges, I definitely have mixed feelings on what is left
They are pink and burgundy, from 1961
Imgur made me cut the video to upload
Just a finger
A cheap tile saw to slab it to the size I wanted, then after getting it ground to size I took a Dremel and used a diamond burr and made little indents matching on the stone and ring so when I epoxy it in place the epoxy basically forms little locking spheres so the stone can't come out
I used a Dremel and made indents matching on the stone and ring then when I epoxy it in place it basically makes little balls locking both together and making it near impossible to seperate
And they say white people have no culture
You could always vacuum stabilize the wood, if you don't like resin you could use cactus juice?
Mostly I'm a metal worker, blacksmithing, copper work, welding and fabrication, I'm building a knife and wanted to use the mammoth ivory and labradorite for the handle. Very unfamiliar with these materials but am always willing to try and learn new skills, that's amazing! Where did you get bronze age wood????
Thank you
I spent a few years living in the Yukon, gold miners come across them all the time in the permafrost, have an upcoming project I want to use it in but have never worked with the material before so these are basically my test pieces to learn how to beat use the material without breaking it.
She had a throat like a golf bag
As a person who has spent years building custom jigs and hold downs to work around really thin and awkward shaped parts, using this chuck is a magical experience, so I stand by my previous statement, plus having to rebuild it I'm hyper aware of the physics involved in its inner workings.
I'm in an 8'x8' plastic garden shed, I hear you on tight space
It just seemed so logical to me lol apparently the rest of the internet doesn't feel the same way
This is an old Rockwell from the 50's it has all the bells and whistles and is museum condition, itwill never have a wood blade put back on it, they are far too dangerous for my liking
Metal always wins
I got it because "the magnets don't work" took it apart and realigned them, otherwise it would be wayyyy out of my price range
Building it mostly to flatten out knives after forging
I think this is the highest compliment I've ever received! Thank you!! The project I'm working on is a knife, wanted to make it flat, building the handle out of labradorite rock and woolly mammoth ivory
This is just my proof of concept, building a much stiffer base
Considering I rebuilt it I am aware about the physics involved, but if you've ever tried clamping a weirdly shaped piece of metal or something really thin in a vise then when you use this thing it truly becomes magical
I get a lot of enjoyment engineering things and building 8 to10 side projects to complete the main one, the knife I'm making with this will incorporate labradorite stone and woolly mammoth ivory, I've never worked with either material and I'm cheap so need to make a stone saw and grinders, and a buffing and polishing machine.and my blade warped good during heat treating, hense why I'm building the surface grinder lol
Already taken care of, Deadman switch on the floor, and I'll be building a lexan case around it
Once I get the roller bearings and the dial indicator on the Column I should be within .001"but I'm also not doing anything heavy, I make knives and just looking at making things flat, not really grinding for accuracy
Thanks, $200 for the chuck and $150 for the saw is sooooo much cheaper than a surface grinder, plus I'm in a little garden shed so power is a problem, this works well
There's a second layer of magnets underneath that slide and the magnetic poles either cancel eachother out or the poles align and it becomes a strong magnet
