Those were CNC. There are some curves and radius’s on there I can’t do manually.

Jeez...stop it you guys.
For starters I just want to spot weld some rebar to some old saw blades and paint em like flowers.

I built this 2x72 belt grinder when I realized a comparable one was $2k.

Where did you get the speed controller?

@slatebuilder I see how my last comment could've been taken wrongly, I meant no disrespect by it.

It wasn’t taken wrongly. All good. Is that piece stainless?

Where did you get the speed controller?

I got it right from KB-controls. I added a power on/off switch so I could leave it plugged in and still kill the power and a forward/reverse which I use once in a while. I'm pretty sure I got those switches on amazon. I am not an electrician, but it was surprisingly easy to wire up. They had really straight forward instructions.

Here is mine, not quite as artistic as some but functional almost. I need to design the gear systems yet. It is a old wide row JD 7000 3 point conversion.

There's just so much to like about this thread! Incredible craftsmanship and ingenuity. Y'all are tremendously skilled.

Looking forward to seeing more projects.

I can't seem to post the video of it but it's a continuous sweep clock I made where the tiny c-130 goes around the clock. The numbers on the minute hand are the 3 coast guard c-130's that have crashed.
The housing is from one of the props.

Insane amount of work for a readily available item, if not in ss could've had a steel one plated..
Sorry, but I gotta ask.. WHY???.

That was back when I had time for doing such frivolous things. And it's a perfect match to the stud on the forend cap posted above.
