Re: Gradall XL5100 V 1/14 Scale 3D Printed
That is really a great looking body, very nice work. That's the biggest problem with 3d printing is that it takes so much work and time to really get a nice finish. I think it takes more effort than...

Re: Gradall XL5100 V 1/14 Scale 3D Printed
Very cool build. I also am a big fan of the Gradall. Fascinating machines to watch in action. Used to drive by the factory where they are made all the time. Will be watching for updates.

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale
Always wondered how well those little tig machines could do brass. I use a lot of brass but have always silver soldered it. Have you ever tried it with aluminum? Happy holidays.

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
Oh man, reading that made my head hurt. I'm really glad the damage was not any worse than that. Find it hard though to think that Sherline can't provide a replacement part. I have the threading...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
Several years ago I made some benders out of steel to make various types of u-bolts. Was a lot of work to make them. Squared, round, different lengths, different rod sizes, etc. I will be very...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

It doesn't always pay to buy cheap. I bought a Starret digital caliper for about $100 thirty odd years ago. Big money at the time. Other than having to replace the battery a couple of times it has...
