I like to turn. My Son-Inlay’s birthday is next week. He likes Star Wars so I found a 3d printed Darth Vader on Etsy. I made a pen to put on the Darth Vader holder.
I have a PSI duplicator that uses steel templates to make pens. The duplicator works ok but was hard to manipulate. So I created a handle to help with control of the duplicator. I have made a lot of shop utility projects over the years with my SO3 XXL.
The handle looks similar to a saw handle. The addition really made the duplicator work much better.
Here a couple of other shop utility projects.
This is a tray for holding my 12" lathe accessories.
Here is wedgie sled I made for segmented woodturning.
A longworth chuck for holding things on the lathe.
L Bracket for spoilboard.
Steady Rest for 16" lathe.
Rebuilt a 1963 Delta Drill Press and made cabinet for my Grandson. I engraved his name on the top drawer.
These are just a few of the utility projects for the shop.
