    Here's my journey of building a Reprap 3d Printer. Took about two weeks to get to the point where I was printing and I am still tweaking things to get good prints but it's working well enough to share :)

  • Timing Pulleys

    I am working on a project for my Enco Mill Drill Lathe - it's a Power Feed driven by a Parallax Propeller and EasyDriver - part of the project involves making some Timing Pulleys to hook it all up! So this post is about the Timing Pulleys! Check out some pictures and videos!

Ultimate Workbench

I'm building myself an "Ulitmate Workbench" that will house all of my tools and make things a lot easier around the shop!

My goal for the Ultimate Workbench was to have

  • Table Saw and Outfeed
  • Chop Saw Well
  • Router Table
  • Storage

I designed two senarios in Sketchup - one with all MDF and one with 2X4 frame - I went with the 2X4 frame because I thought it would be cheaper, easier to build, and sturdier (in my opinion).

For the router table I think I'm going to build one of these Router Table Lift - mainly because I think it's cool with the wooden gears and I can put my CNC to work :)

For the well I want to leave that as flexable as possible for any future tools I might buy, maybe a sanding downdraft area, etc - so I'm going to build that with adjustable shelves i think

I'm sure - as all my projects go - that this will be evolving and I'll post changes to the design to the Sketchup model and here

Lastly - you can find the sketchup plans in my downloads section - where I'll be posting up more and more stuff hopefully
