IT by day, fabricator and tinkerer by night. Sometimes I post bits of what I'm working on.

@ThunderSqueakAK Could you follow me? I'd like to DM you something. Thanks

@AcklenX Also, much like water to ice, bismuth expands when it solidifies

[Mark L @inventor42]

@AcklenX When you heat it to melting point, and then pour it into a non-tempered glass container

[Mark L @inventor42]

@AcklenX What would you like to know? It's Bismuth. Very easy to melt, but brittle when solid. Melts in 15 minutes using a propane burner

[Mark L @inventor42]

Ahhhh... That's better

[Mark L @inventor42]

Who wants to guess what happened here?

[Mark L @inventor42]

Attempting metal casting, because what else is there to do on a Wednesday evening?

Parts arrived! Today I learn how to drill and countersink bolt holes in a steel plate. Hopefully, this will end well

[Mark L @inventor42]

Motivation strikes! Going to work on my custom milling machine today.

[Mark L @inventor42]

Had a blast! Hope to do it again next year! https://t.co/jZRQskx0jH
