Found Dreaming

Its a bit wet here today so I cannot do a great deal so I've decided to try machining a flask pattern out of a chunk of wood on the mill, it did't turn out too bad ether. Timber was a piece of pine 35 x 90 x 335 ( 1.37 x 3.54 x 13.18 inch )
For a bit of draft I placed some ally angle under one edge to tilt it up at an angle, I did all three sides in that manner

This is all I got done, it was starting to get a bit wet under feet so I called it a day, plus we're sitting our two granddaughters to day and wife has now gone to work so poppy's looking after them

Poppy oops Mike

That looks like a pretty nice pattern Mike. Make the first one real long and cast a master then cut it down a bit at a time and make a master after each cut. One pattern for a whole slew of sizes.

Good point Harry, I'll do another longer and wider then I should have all bases covered

what you going to do about line up pins??, you going to cast them on, or bolt em on to the side. how you liking that collet chuck Mike?

I'll more then likely bolt the alinement pins to the side. I rather like the collet chuck Dave

could glue yourself a little block of wood onto each side that would stick out about .5 inches that and what you already have would be enough for a pin the pattern is deep enough on the sides that you can get a good grip on it.

I have to go pick up some stuff for a guy that I have been helping out, while I am at the tool store I think I will pick myself up one for my mill.
