Projects

Working on some projects around the shop. Making a new custom shear hold down on the Old Cincinnati Mill for the ironworker to replace the crappy flame cut one that comes standard with it. This one will have the ability to nip the corners off angles. And I’m installing an LED strip light on the back of it. And machining in some windows to see the shear blade. Next up is custom gauging tables with scales for the shear and punch tables. #fabshop #ironworker #hydraulics #machinist #machineshop #instamachinist #manualmachinist #weldingshop #maker #keepcraftalive #millingmachine #metalworking #sundayfunday #shoptime #mitutoyo
Have crane will travel.... 😜 Picked this sweet Wallace 5 ton Gantry Crane last night. Came with a 6 ton hoist to boot. #undergroundmachineworks #machineshop #welding #weldingnation #fabshop #metalworking #steelisreal #crane #gantrycrane #worktruck #hoist
When it comes 90 degree saddle joints, ya just can’t beat the ironworker with a pipe notching attachment. #undergroundmachineworks #metalworking #weldingshop #ironworker #welding #handrails #hydraulics #fabricator #dirtyhandscleanmoney #metalwork #miller #lincolnelectric #esab
Knocked out a quick little project for the house that my wife’s been after me to do for a while. Got my acoustics hung up. Used a scrap of Walnut that I had left over from a slab that got squared up. Also I’ve been using this @magswitch_tech fence on everything! It works awesome! Along with my @abom79 sized Nooga mag-base once you get one you get real creative 🤔 #carpentry #finishcarpentry #undergroundmachineworks #guitars #tools #machineshop #hilti #festool #festoolme #festoolfan
Rebuilding a Pexto 299 Ring and Circle Shear. It’s got about .004 TIR on the face and it’s about .006 TIR on the gap. This machine was pretty abused but it was free. I’m gonna leave the blades mounted on their spindles and put them in the four jaw with the Tool post grinder to straighten them out and sharpen them should be able to get them within a few .0001 easily. #instamachinist #oldiron #machinist #keepcraftalive #maker #restoration #lathe #pexto #dialindicator #manualmachinist #undergroundmachineworks
Doing some maintenance on the little hydraulic ironworker today. Flipping the shear blades, and measuring it up to make some custom accessories. #ironworker #metalworker #welding #machineshop #welder #fabricator #keepcraftalive #maker
Prefabbing some stair skirt boards at the shop. @festool makes these jobs effortless. #festool #festool_usa #trimcarpentry #stairbuilder #finishcarpentry #builder #carpenter #woodworking #festoolfan #festoolme #festoolusa #festooluk #contractor #tradesman #keepcraftalive #undergroundmachineworks
Throwing up some Red Iron down in south Florida.
A cold chisel is not the way to loosen a cylinder gland. Nor is a pipe wrench. Use the right tools or you might end spending a lot of money fixing something that wasn’t needed. Of the cylinders of I’ve rebuilt this week more than half of them were billed for machining because of owner caused damage from improperly trying to break them down themselves. #instamachinist #hydraulics #hydraulicpress #hydrauliccylinder #machineshop #manualmachinist #outerbanks #bobcatequipment #caterpillar #millingmachine #localbusiness #localasitgets #doitright #takeprideinyourwork
