Jig-Back to the drawing board

[Paul in OKC]

Wel, I was just about ready to take a pic of my latest proto type thing-a-ma-jig, when I decided it needed a little adjustment. So I stuck it in the mill vise, started to cut, the piece moved and being thin in a spot, squeezed out of shape I guess now I can remake it with the things I learned while making this one. It is made to hold a Dremel, spring loaded (in and out) for drill 'spots', and on rails with a screw to cut slots or flutes. Hopefully I will find time to ge back at it soon. Oh Well[^]

See this is why you don't want anything to tidy, not the shop, not the tools not nothin. only the finished product. you thing-a-ma-jig falls under tools.

Don't you just hate when you got to do that last little tweak to make something already good better and ...........BLAM!! []

Hope the next one comes out looking the way you want it so we can steal the idea[}] JKing

Now you can just make the finished product as the R&D is complete.

Will it fit the Jet Mini Lathe[?]
