Vacuum thermoforming machine. It holds a 24x24 inch sheet of plastic. Quartz heating elements at the top. I was molding parts out of pretty thick ABS sheet hence the dual vac pumps with reserve vacuum tanks to pull that thick stuff down over the mold.

I went mad scientist on this project

Boeshield is good for vertical surfaces, for longer term protection it won't run off over time like oil. It dries to a layer of waxy oil that sticks. I started getting some rust on a Bison chuck treated with oil when I hadn't used my metal lathe for some months. It rains a lot here in the...

There's my free money hobby. Seriously look what people leave laying around on the beach GOLD! Pounds of silver and gobs of gold. At $1,900 a troy ounce it adds up fast. :cool: Yes even back in the 1700's people left me goodies to find, two Spanish 8 Reales still fused to the shipwreck. These...

LOL do your friends call you Stubs? But seriously, both my grandfather and great grandfather sawed of their thumb about the same age as me. I'm going to keep mine attached.

DO IT!!! Always happy to introduce others to the sickness that is amp building.

This one is beyond my woodworking skills so I bought it.

That amp was an early build...I ran 10 racks on my latest build hence all the new woodworking machines after I decided to build guitar amps again. 1. Stainless steel laser cut chassis with TIG welded corners. That's a CNC machined, engraved, enamel infill black anodized face plate.

Pool table woodworking, GC IV frame extensions. Guitar amp woodworking, Mahogany/Flame Maple dovetail cabinet around a custom 100 watt Marshall Plexi clocked at 124 decibels. :oops:

They will still look unused in 10 years, I keep my machines clean and in like new condition. There's a reason I have 3 cans of Boeshield lol.

Behold!

I purchased a 15 year old Alfa Romeo once. Most automotive rubber that old in that harsh environment was hard and cracked yet even the hoses in the engine compartment were as supple and rubbery as the day it was new. Clearly they were using a higher quality rubber that lasts a long time.

Repairs complete. On one end slate someone had chiseled away some of the backing board for whatever reason. I glued some Poplar inserts in to bring it back flush with the bottom so the pocket skirts sit flush. Corner pocket skirts are printing now on the 3D printer.

Yes, think non-marking nylon casters same stuff. Now the Brunswick rubber pockets I'm not sure.

No I'm good with the black as-is. Kind of fits the black motif of the table, it has black rail caps, skirts and legs. I did switch to Nylon filament you can beat on that stuff with a hammer. Prints 3-4x faster than the urethane rubber.

Not that screw, I'm talking about the hex bolts on the underside of the pocket castings that attach them to the rails on a GCIV. This could be specific to the GCIV pocket castings. They screw into an odd T nut. There's a casting flange under there that gets in the way of wrenching.

That will work!

What is Simonis 860HR 80 grit?? Buy the 100 sorted sizes for your skinned knuckles or the cloth stretching tool.

I recently found (at Home Depot) a unusually small head pivoting 1/4" drive ratchet that's perfect for getting at my GCIV pocket casting bolts. The only tool I found that can get up at those things square. The ratchet was part of an $18 1/4 drive set in a plastic case.
