A slight distraction from #3dprinting ...

I need two M16x1.5 screws, made from alumin(i)um or steel, ideally anodized/coated in black.

The Chinese #CNC services are quoting $25-50 per piece, excluding shipping.

I'm pretty sure this should be much cheaper to produce on a metal #lathe, alas I don't have access to one.

If someone knows the approximate price for #turning that screw on a lathe, or can offer access to one in the #Munich area, I'd appreciate it.

Re-toot appreciated

#turning : turnery, or the shaping of solid substances into various by means of a lathe and cutting tools

January 26th.

Yesterday, I gained access to some branches and trunks of a black #alder tree. I cut these into manageable pieces and sealed the ends with #Anchorseal (a wax solution). These pieces are now meant to dry slowly without cracking. Eventually, I plan to turn them into items like bowls or vases on a lathe.

Whilst I'm laid up with the lurgy I thought I'd put together selection of work from 2024.Losing Stanley was devasting but I know he had the best life. Making Nelson the Chameleon was great fun and being asked to carve an old friend in stone was a real privilege. Quite a bit of letter cutting this year including this house number for a front door!Two big jobs in the pipeline for 2025 & I hope to be able to mix it up with #Metalwork #StoneCarving #WoodCarving #Turning #LetterCutting & #Portraiture

Had a look at the winding hole, which is about 6 boat lengths ahead.

It's lined in concrete. I could see where boats have scraped and chipped away at it. Some wood beams would be welcome, to protect both the steel boats and the concrete.

Tomorrow I'll turn the boat in there, very slowly, and then head back uphill and south for a full day before deciding: east, west, or further south?

Poor little Unimat never saw this coming

Opened and closed two swing bridges on the way to the winding hole (for turning), then the same two swing bridges as we returned and headed to the junction.

It was easier paired up with another boat, so moving 4 adults and 1 dog, in total.

In the 8 minutes time it took us to get two boats past one of the opened bridges, 14 cars were waiting.

Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands … tipping my hat to soon to be 82 years old Bob Dylan. This elmtree, Ulmus Glabra, blank were harvested on May 24th 2021 – on the very day Bob Dylan turned 80. Blank rapidly turned wet and thin to speed up drying, warping on the way and given character accordingly.

#woodworking hive mind please help! I'm making myself a three-chambered soup bowl (turned outside, then carved inside and outside). I've drilled, gouged, and chiseled as far down as is comfortable, but of course now I need to smooth out the bottom. Any suggestions other than hours with sandpaper (which is my current plan)? My spoon gouges only work so well in this situation.
