So after the disaster of the first piece exploding

So after the disaster of the first piece exploding on the lathe and smashing the wall (see earlier post) I started over with a nice piece of wild cherry. A little touch of 3d printing on the back and a makers mark finishes it off nicely.
Massive shout out to Martin @chopsdesigns for sending me the perfect acrylic disc within ten mins of me messaging him arrived the next day. Excellent service and excellent products watch this space for more to come.
Can’t wait to get this commission piece sent out this week.

Started a commission piece last week, then disaste

Started a commission piece last week, then disaster struck. Spinning at 1800rpm this piece of oak 12”x3” decided to split and made a hell of a bang. I’m glad I had dark trousers on 😂 it certainly got the heart pounding. Looking at the last pic it shows the damage it made when it hit the wall I’m not sure any kind of PPE would’ve stopped that.

You’re an amazing woman and I’m super proud of you everyday and the person you’ve become. I love you lots baby girl. Especially your passport picture 😝 xxxx

I had a couple of ring mandrels in the usual plastic cases. Quick 20 minute design then just under an hour later the 3d printer had finished the organiser and it’s mounted on the wall in the workshop. #3dprinting #toolorganizer #toolorganisation #workshop #davegdesigns

Good news and bad news - good news is the bad news

Good news and bad news - good news is the bad news ain’t that bad.

After running a 15 hour print job on my glubot holder it failed during the last bit. I thought it was doomed until a friend who is also a GP I work with who happens to be a 3d printing genius told me how to reprint the final layers separately.
Fast forward an hour and the final section is printed and using @o3adhesives glued together. It’s not perfect but it’s a workshop organiser I could fill the gaps but I know I won’t.

Thanks @drdamianwilliams everyday is a learning experience.

If anyone wants to try the best CA glue on the market links in my bio thanks @o3adhesives
