Ok….so it’s no secret we all love build pics. On other platforms folks post build and progress pics all the time, so I thought it would be cool to start a thread where we could post what we’re working on, or an idea we have, or even a question. A place to share where we might not want to take up a entire thread. Just a hub for builders to hang out:)

I will start it off! Todays project was this HHPFS in the classic layout of polished bronze and aluminum! Still my favourite!

Ok, so when you ' cut the chord', do you typically round it off completely on the lathe? Or do you cut it with a saw and then round it off manually?

I cut it off with the saw and round it on the belt grinder by hand. If I’m not going to polish it and I need all the sanding marks going in the same direction I will do it by hand then chuck it up in the lathe for the final sanding so everything looks right again. But mostly by hand.

Great idea for a thread. Now go ahead and finish cutting those grooves around that fork.
