Alright, and finally an update. I spent the weekend with a carbide on the diegrinder, and ended up with this.
Now I just have to really clean up the ports. There is so much excess flashing and metal from the casting, it's ridiculous. But then again, it was made to be a work horse, not thoroughbred.
And a little side project, since the weather still thinks it's winter out:
And I don't feel like being in the garage in this weather at the moment, so I'm working on something else...
Yeah, that lump of clay may turn out to save me 130 bucks. Which, at this point in time, is pretty major for me, haha. I'm going to attempt to make a mold, and cast my own lumps. Will it work? Who knows. But if I try, and it works, great! If I try and it doesn't, I was out nothing but the time to do it.
So thats where it stands at the moment. I'm going to go play with it some more before doing some chem homework and such...meh. Atleast the semester is almost over, and then I have summer for this nonsense, before transfering...
And thats where she stands now. Let's hear it!
