sculpture you can do that, I can't change the lines of what I'm working on if I do then it becomes something else

Bob Ross always called them "Happy Mistakes".

CAE2100 I finally got around to firing up the shaper on probably the hottest day of the year, took me a couple of hours to get things to working like they should, anyway I think that I have it running good enough to do a little job on a receiver that I have what needs a small cut back done so that I can put in an extractor correct to the original design.

Took a little video will post a link when i get it loaded so that those so interested can watch it.

Right now I'm going to try to cool out and dry off.

cool, yea, this summer, staying cool is pretty much the only thing you can do, but doesnt seem to work that well, lol. I cant wait to see the shaper running again, lol.

Talking about heat, it was 30 c 90 f here yesterday, and its still winter

[cae2100]

ouch, I'd hate to see your summers then, lol

[mite5255]

It was unseasonal hot the other day when it was 90, much cooler today, our summers would be on par with Florida

not much of a video but here it is anyway. will try for something better in the next day or two.

cool, but it would work much better with a lantern tool post and a cutting tool in it, lol. I dont think Ive ever seen a shaper run that slow through a stroke unless it's running a 24" stroke, lol

[dallen]

a lantern tool post won't do what I was/am wanting/need to do. i have to be able to push the tool bit inside of a receiver, which I made a holder to do that with. tried to make the cut this morning and screwed up and almost perfectly good receiver but did manage to get one or two chips off of what I needed to remove.
list of things that went wrong this morning.
1 tool bit slipped in holder.
2 holder came loose in the clapper
3 shaper knocked the vise around like a step child.
4 biggest problem was idiot running machine.
5 dogs made at me also.
