Looks like some nice stuff, even a 4 axis mill!

Thanks, I just started 2 winters ago when I'm laid off. So far I designed a built a 4way prosthetic wrist for me to use at work and interchangeable tools for it.

Matt a very nice warm basement to work in you lucky stiff. It looks like you are pretty good with you cnc machines I am going to give a mill a try I think. Setting it up isn't the problem but running it will be. I have a Micro Mark lathe and mill and thinking about converting the mill. Welcome a board hope you enjoy your self. Ed

[Bodyman]

nice basement matt, more like a full size shop
hay jammer how do you like your micr mark lathe and mill.
thinking of getting one
steve

[JAMMER]

Bodyman they are all right for the price but you have to spend a lit of time setting them up by this I mean you have to fit the gibs in the V ways I hand sanded them on a pieces if thick glass and 400, 600 and 1000 wet and dry sand paper. I also put brass shims it the slide on the lathe. Now I am thinking of cnc for the mill. Ed

Ok Matt.. I think you win. Lots of guys on this forum have made some pretty amazing stuff. But building your own prosthetic... Awesome.

No sh!t. When I read that I had to reread and then check the pic. Awesome work! :D

Thats a nice hideout. How big is this area? It looks huge.

Thanks for looking, Its not really. About 14' x 20' , and I share the space with the furnace, hot water heater, well pump and storage tank, sump pump, and the breaker box. Its nice I have a door to access the the garage steps, so my air compressor, and wood working toys/tools are out there right up the steps. Its nice having the air plumbed in, so the late nights, I can keep going, and not wake the kiddos.

Matt the prosthetic setup is AWESOME!! You say you just got into machining two winters ago? I'm thinking you can definitely make a gear pump! (other thread). Joe

Thanks Joe,

Yeah, I bought every Swarf rat video they had and spent days on the net, and taught myself. The first thing I built was the wrist, of course it took two years to get it right, and the second thing I did was make stuff for the CNC conversions. Few trys there too!:cool:

I don't know if maybe I shouldn't start out making a cable dozer first or something instead of Hyd.

I run a portable Rock crushing spread at work that takes about 15 semi trips to move. I've offen thought of starting at the Primary jaw crusher and Modeling the whole spread 1 piece at a time. Its mostly all run by electric motors, so RC/ing it wouldn't be bad. And I know it like the back of my hand........."the right one".......LOL

It isn't much he says, who is he kidding?:cool:

Matt, What a great hideaway you have there. That crusher would be a neat project. I like that Whitetail too! Fred

Thanks Fred,

I'm still looking for possible projects, haven't settled on any yet. I like the older iron too, and have been looking into some old cable dozer's, scrapers, and drag lines.

Looking for some info on them also.

[grumpygrady]

a small screening plant would be cool
then the trucks could dump in a hopper for you to screen and other trucks could haul it off to use as road base gardens etc
then you would need a trailer office and a maintance shed and and lol

doing great for only 2 years better than my 25 years

have fun

[Lil Giants]

A screening plant like this?

I'd be interested in aquiring a jaw crusher myself. A four or five inch opening capable of crushing tennis ball size rocks to pea size. ;) I have some pics of one german modeller's start of one a few yrs ago, but hasn't yet finnished... don't know why. :confused: PM email addy & I could send them to you.

Have you considerd getting a patent for your 4axis prosthetic wrist? It looks pretty trick!

Have a Patent Pending. Thats a top soil screen in the video. Pretty cool. Wonder where he got the conveyor belting?

Here is the spread I run 10 months out of the year.

Red granite gravel pit? I run through Halder every once in awhile, see conveyor belts, belly dumpers, and quad axles all over around there

Them pics where when we where down in Cassville, WI. We move about 25 times a year, all through out the whole state. Cassville was all limestone, easy crushing, compared to granite by Wausau. This last summer we did a lot of recycle concrete and blacktop also.

[Lil Giants]

Kinda looks like Bruder conveyer belts (http://www.brudertoys.com/Pro-Series/c21/p605/Conveyor-Belt/product_info.html).

[doodlebug]

Hey Matt, I can help with an impactor crusher, but I don't have any jaw experience.
Welcome aboard! Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Joe have you seen it since he finished the paint? It is one awesome piece of machinery. I have read his thread 3 or 4 times.
