01:17 AM * katsmeow wants a wrist watch that has a display ~1.5x2 inches, the clock digits actually occupying ALL that space
01:19 AM katsmeow: ebay is being less than helpful, in the category of "wristwatches", it reports : 0 results found for wrist watch

10:02 PM mynick: AAACCCKKKK!!! won't those screws cause divots in your table, and corresponding rises around the divots? making the table look like it has pimples, and be wildly non-flat?
10:02 PM Tom_L: it's a sacrificial plate on top of the table
10:03 PM Tom_L: flat file across it and it's fine
10:03 PM Tom_L: until it gets a haircut
10:03 PM mynick: the end "hold up" scres look like they are off the sacrificial
10:03 PM Tom_L: no
10:03 PM mynick: the crank handle looks exceptional tho, sweet
10:04 PM Tom_L: had to try out the new chamfer cutter
10:04 PM * mynick is ignoring the tiny bit of chatter
10:04 PM Tom_L: it was a little deep but still ok
10:04 PM Tom_L: it's actually pretty clean
10:05 PM mynick: it looks like there is a groove just below the chamfers, is there, on purpose? nice accent
10:05 PM Tom_L: just one of the layered cuts
10:05 PM Tom_L: i generally do a cleanup cut at full depth but i haven't been lately
10:06 PM mynick: i suspected you went to extra trouble to make that line :-)
10:07 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/Mill_Steel/Assembly/Final/Vise_parts/Speedhandle_fit2.jpg
10:07 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/Mill_Steel/Assembly/Final/Vise_parts/Speedhandle_fit1.jpg
10:07 PM Tom_L: i don't recall now if it was the top or bottom that caused it
10:09 PM mynick: suggestion: get the ball and spring from the drive of a ratchet or extension, to hold the new crank on the acme
10:10 PM Tom_L: huh?
10:11 PM mynick: you didn;t notice on rachets there is a little ball i the square drive?
10:11 PM Tom_L: i know what you mean
10:11 PM Tom_L: it comes off while running anyway
10:11 PM mynick: ok, install it in the handle you just made
10:11 PM Tom_L: and is a fairly snug fit
10:11 PM mynick: yea, but if it couldn;t, then it wouldn't
10:11 PM Tom_L: that did give me an idea for a crank handle though
10:19 PM mynick: :-/
10:28 PM mynick: Tom, you should find a way to score/cut that accent line on purpose
10:29 PM mynick: and if the entire drilling/cutting is one run of machine code, maybe you could make them for sale on ebay, with custom shaft diameters/shapes
10:29 PM mynick: and lengths
10:36 PM Tom_L: it is one file
10:36 PM Tom_L: with 2 fixtures
10:37 PM Tom_L: one to drill the holes in the vise then what you see
10:37 PM mynick: o
10:37 PM Tom_L: both sides
10:38 PM mynick: well, it was a free thought, no harm done
10:58 PM Tom_L: i should work on a tool holder rack soon
10:59 PM rue_: hmm
10:59 PM * mynick hmms along
10:59 PM mynick: i need an engine holder rack

11:25 PM rue_: cause, kat is an amazing fabricator
11:25 PM mynick: i know that
11:25 PM rue_: ok
11:25 PM mynick: but just because i can, still means i need to do it
11:26 PM rue_: I wish I was as good as kat
11:26 PM rue_: I have a little voice in the back of my head
11:26 PM rue_: well, there are a few, but thats not the point
11:26 PM rue_: every so often, when I need something, it pipes up and starts telling me how to build one
11:26 PM mynick: it gives you more opinions on any topic
11:27 PM mynick: https://www.harborfreight.com/savings_coupons.html
11:27 PM rue_: my first reaction is usually ARG and beating my head on my desk
11:27 PM rue_: but it goes on to show me how easy it is
11:27 PM rue_: and I usually cave in
11:28 PM mynick: those are teh good voices to listen to, and even wait on, while they solve the problem for you
11:28 PM rue_: an engine block stand cant be much more than 8 peices of pipe
11:28 PM mynick: all thse coupons expire March 31
11:29 PM mynick: i was gonna use bed frame, just to hold them upright and off the floor
11:29 PM rue_: I dunno about that bedframe metal
11:29 PM mynick: sturdier uprights, and lotsa bracing
11:29 PM rue_: I'v had it tear on me before
11:29 PM rue_: and, when you have to drill a hole in it....
11:30 PM mynick: a 3ft span of bedframe as shelf, i can stand on in the middle of ad it holds fine
11:30 PM rue_: indeed
11:30 PM mynick: yeas, it can wreck drill bits
11:30 PM rue_: did you have to dri...
11:31 PM rue_: I keep the grinder near by
11:31 PM rue_: BUT
11:31 PM mynick: the 3 shelf units i built of it for inside heavy stuff, 6ft tall, all welded, no holes, no bolts
11:31 PM rue_: lately, I'v been just changing the angle of the cutting edge ont eh bit
11:31 PM rue_: to ~90 degrees
11:31 PM rue_: which seems to work great
11:31 PM mynick: awefully small bite
11:31 PM rue_: instead of the high angle of a wood cut
