Workbench tool holder

[Kmot]

Thought you all might get a kick out of this little tabletop screwdriver holder I am making. We all need cool boat building tools and accessories, right? :)

No, a beer holder. ;)

Kmot - is that what is termed a "milling machine"? If so, could you share which brand it is?

You do nice work... ;)

[smart_racer]

very nice...good excuse to buy a milling machine, but I do want a 3in1 bench top

[Kmot]

Thanks Andy! :)

Mine is the Harbor Freight mini-mill.

[green-boat]

Thanks Andy! :)

Mine is the Harbor Freight mini-mill.
They are made in China by Seig, model X2. Grizzly, Harbor Freight, Cummins, Micro-Mark...... are a few of the names they are sold under. They either come with a MT33 or an R8 spindle taper. Personally I like the R8 spindle. There are a number of articles out there on how to CNC these along with a bunch of upgrades.

Looks good Tom!!!

Nice rack---tool rack that is.

[Kmot]

Thanks fella's! :)

[Kmot]

It is now complete. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. It was also a learning experience, trying out new materials and techniques.

Kmot,

Very nice side project. Time to pop that beer and celebrate!

[toesup]

Seeing as Kmot has been doing other things.... other than boats..

This isnt boat related.. but its still model... Something i've been making...

Lil Brother Stationary farm engine.
1" bore
4" Flywheels

I didnt make the engine by the way, just the skids / box... :o

The engine refurb comes next..

[Kmot]

Nice woodwork Toes! What goes in the box?

[Aerominded]

Coors...Light? :p :D :p ;)

Nice screwdriver holder! :)

I like those stationary farm engines! The little single cylinder gas ones used to power water pumps, etc. are fun to watch... and listen to! :)

[toesup]

Nice woodwork Toes! What goes in the box?

Thanks Kmot

The coil and battery.. and a small tool tray...

I'm on the wiring and the fuel line at the moment, i want to get it running before i strip the engine

[Tugboat Andy]

Wow, Toes, that's looking pretty fancy!

My father briefly owned the full size version of that type of engine. He called it a "stump puller". I was pretty young so I don't remember much of it running. I'm rather more partial to his "little" Easthope one lunger. Hopefully, I'll get an opportunity to build a boat around it someday. The flyweel on that engine could turn a serious prop... :eek: ;)

[toesup]

.. and it now runs too... :D:D:D

[woodybob]

What a neat toy.

That's gonna look so cool in a Springer hull. :eek:

May I suggest a clear Lexan superstructure. ;)

[Aerominded]

.. and it now runs too... :D:D:D

Very, very cool, Toes!!! could you snap another picture with a ruler that shows the scale of that engine?

<stationary engines... another hobby I must try to keep away from!!! ;) >

[toesup]

Very, very cool, Toes!!! could you snap another picture with a ruler that shows the scale of that engine?

You mean like this Aero?.... ;)

[Aerominded]

Perfect! Thanks! Hummmmmm, looks compact... ;)

[MILLERTIME]

That's Hot!!!

[green-boat]

Toes,

Does that fire on every stroke or is it a hit and miss engine?

[toesup]

Toes,

Does that fire on every stroke or is it a hit and miss engine?

Its Hit and Miss.. fires on every 4th(ish) stroke... sometimes.. :D
