Hey Patrons!

As is tradition, here is the link for shared drive for the month. Every project for which I made models or drawings is in there. A special treat this time- for the Letter Punch Jig, you'll also find STEP and STL files for 3D printing. That project seems like a great candidate for it, so by popular demand, I'm including those files.

If you're a new Patron, that link will expire in 30 days, so don't bother bookmarking it. I paste a new one here every month. Enjoy!

I suspect that this was the reason I never really got into modelling. The detail work, after getting the basic work done , whether it was assembling a plastic model or constructing a working model - I just never seemed to be able to face up to the fiddley stuff. As a result, my models were never really satisfying, or worthy of being shown to anyone else.

Quinn.the clamp kit looks really interesting! can you send me the web address? I'll be getting a seig c-3 very soon!

I enjoy your videos and clear explanations. I am not happy with Lens, on my PC it starts and stops like it is made up of tiny segments. Do keep up the good work; Thank you.

Yah, Lens videos are small pieces, like Instagram Stories. A lot of folks have technical difficulty with them, but sadly I can't help with that.

Sounds like you might have to make an aluminum base for the engine...

Quinn, when I get my new lathe I'm going to do the clamps, I can't use the other because it needs new bushings! like the lens video!!

Sorry to hear about the algorithm and your videos. But do not fear: I still love them and look out for them. So are most of your many fans, I'm sure.

Interesting take on the steam engine vs clamp type of machining. In the sometime soon, when I buy a lathe, I'm certain I'll start on the clamp-type projects to hone my currently non-existant skill set. Thx. Nice video.

Blondihacks

Yah, I'm considering a few options. I might replace the plastic cap with a brass-sheet-made one soldered together.

Blondihacks

Thank you very much! The Patrons here are the real fans, and you guys never let me down.

This clamp project is a great beginner project, I think. Very simple operations throughout, although some of the tolerances are tight.

Ironworker FXR

What are the dimensions, might have some stock

Blondihacks

The dimensions for the base? About 10" x 4". Something like 18 or 20 ga brass sheet metal would make a good replacement for the plastic, I think.

Doing Science using those measurements is easier with a slide rule.
