Mod 1 final project

For our final project of mod 1 we got a slightly more involved set of plans for a set of parallels that we will be able to use in the feild. A parallel fits into a vice to raise your work and keep it level. We used the mill in class and they took severel steps. I really enjoyed making them.

Lancer

Seen this while out and about and it caught my eye.


Weird Food Cars






The last one looks like it would be fit for a pig themed crime figher.

The search

Well it looks like both my wife and I are getting jobs if so I am going to need another car. Our schedules are going to cross over and having just the camery will not work. So still being finantially hinderd it will have to be under 1000 (well under). Would like to find a toyota 90 or older rwd and stick perfered. Corolla, supra, cressida, or a space van would be awsome. I know I dont many followes and have not been posting much latley but you will get a standing ovation and become a patren saint of the site. Heck I'll even break off some enthusiast swag for you if you can bring a super deal home for me. Requirement running well cosmetics not as important.

Dutch the killer

I found my dog dutch in the back yard going nuts digging and barking. I went to check out what was going on. I see a hole with a tail hanging out, then duche's head goes in and a clump of fur in his mouth. I look in the hole and there is the bloody back side of a mole. So he finally pulls it out and just barks and barks. The think was half his size I think he was afraid after he got it out. I had no idea what to do. I dont think he really wanted to kill it. got me to thinking of human nature first I was saying get it, then kill it or let it alone finally I grabed him and took him inside and felt kinda bad. What takes us through that range of thought and emotions.


Van on the 60

Seen this van on my way to class. Looks like he was getting it back in shape.

Our first lathe project

Here is our first project on the lathe with aluminum. I got it all down to spec, it took a minute to get down but I think I got the hang of it now.
