    What did you make with your lathe/mill today?

    Have a Maytag washer from the late 80's or early 90's that would not spin. About 15 years ago we bought a high efficiency front loader, we had planned to use the old Maytag for work clothes. The high efficiency really didn't clean the cloths and if you forgot to leave the door open it really...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Found an old can of Kyron fluorescent yellow paint and decided to use it up. Sprays much better than the current Kyron Fusion paint that I'm using. It does dull as it dries and hoping it shine up with fine wet sanding and polishing.

    Busted the rudder plug out of the mold this morning. I have changed the waxing process and it is working better. Historically I would put several coats of wax on the plug or the mold right in a row. One of the YouTube videos I watched indicated that you need to let the wax cure for a hour...

    Quick update on the air compressor. In November I installed the ring as shown in the first photo, it made sense to me that the cup would face the pressure to aide sealing. Yesterday a photo popped up showing the ring installed the opposite direction. I turned over and it seems to pump OK so...

    I have 6 molds ready for PVA however my compressor has failed. It is a Craftsman oil less compressor, it was rebuilt in Novermer, put a new sleeve and piston ring in, cleaned up the reeds and plate. Worked good when the fuselage was primed twice in December, last time PVA was sprayed just ran...
