I like building things, and taking things apart. I especially enjoy writing Instructables

Last night while working, I stumbled upon a tiny world in a barn. It was a tiny oasis of live! Ferns, moss, a spider... All good things.

@RonJohnsonWI This looks suspiciously like the people have spoken. Do your job.

100 year old tap and die set.... In great condition! @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/xnBEtavvp5

Going to need some love.... But you know what? I love it!! Over 100 years old. Guess what this workbench was made for! @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/IjtMCTTmHH

Time to run a die across these soon-to-be 10-24 screws. I'm loving the ability to make custom fasteners! @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/MeE9v8k8uf

The little mystery collets seem to say Ortlieb on the side. Only two in the ten do not, but other than size, they're all identical. I'm curious if any #watchmaker people know of a dead length collet in 8mm like these. https://t.co/pqWZ7fja8a

And now the handwheel is repaired on the Craftsman 109. This one actually swivels. @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/HZEHaJIv5T

[James King @NotANoun]

Just need to polish that up and it can go on the old 109 lathe. A few more parts to make and that one can be used or sold. @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/VQVlCq9OOp

To give a bit of a sense of scale, I set the unimat up in mill mode with a quarter clamped in the vice. Yeah.... As you can clearly see, this thing is massive! /S 😂 I love it!!! @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/xitn6HSUEt

[James King @NotANoun]

For an early father's day goodie... I got a unimat lathe! A tiny, but capable, model maker's metal lathe!!! With milling attachment! @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/iyf8AL5nZd

This is the smallest machinist chuck (4 jaw) I have ever seen. @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/HAwKd0zodB

Careful planning of my raised beds have resulted in great growth of my veggies. I hope to have my third raised bed filled by late summer/early fall. I have seeds on hand too! @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/XMuYicYTdp

That's an interesting flavor. More of the sweet hoppiness comes out instead of the bitter. I'm calling this one of the smoothest, easy drinking, IPAs I have ever had. @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/N2zhpHSOzf

An interesting device has made it's way into the shop. A New Hermes engraving machine with an extra motor and bits. It's a shame there are no fonts included, but I'm sure I can overcome that. @ Zephyrhills https://t.co/aMHv8ggYdO
