    PM Research Mini Engine Lathe Build

    Decided to test out my tap guide. Some of the small gears need set screws. It's one of the reasons I needed a tap guide. The tap is a 1-72. Everything worked great.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Been wanting to pick up a tap guide, but decided to give building one myself a try. I used aluminum for this first attempt, as it's easier to work with, and just started making parts as I went along. Don't know if it's to standard, but it does work good.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Got a little more work done on the Cub. I forgot how much still needs done on the tailfeathers! Got the hard points installed in the horizontal stab, for the tailbrace wires. Added more material for the hinging. I decided to go with Robarts for the tail surfaces. Made a jig out of oak on the...

    I think I can blend it in so it's almost un-noticeable. Once I have it close, I'll hit it with a sand blaster to make it uniform.

    Did a little work on the headstock prep. I only made one wrong move on the mill X handle, as you can see. Luckily, it was not in a critical condition area.
