Bronze Bushing Resize
Project 2, uploaded 2.25.2011
A tool was machined out of 6061 aluminum to hold over-sized bronze bushings. These were then turned down from 15mm to 14mm so they could be pressed into a housing for a horizontal band saw.

Storage Rack
Project 1, uploaded 2.25.2011
Often finding the garage short on space, a rack for storing materials was a natural project. A few store-bought racks were attempted, but either were under-rated for the weight or were simply poor designs for holding half-sheets of metal (48"x48") or short lengths of tubing/bar stock. This was my solution, a rack with a section for sheet, bar, and tube stock as well as many shelves for the little parts. Only a few of the rack-pans are in place and along with a few other finishing touches. This will be updated once the rack has been completed and stocked.
