    Posted before, but moved out of safety and now run a team that writes equipment specs and maintenance programs for ground equipment and facility assets for a major US airline. Interesting job, really stressful, still trying decide if I like this more than safety or not. Teams great so I got that going for me.

    Being a machinist has its perks when the boss man lets me bring my toys and work on them. Put a clutch in this one this week. Faced the flywheel on the lathe. Put some grease in the pilot bushing then drove a steel rod in it and pushed the old bushing out.

    Sometimes I make miniature farm implements in my spare time when the milling machine is running and have my friend powdercoat them. This one is 8” wide.

    miniatures are always such a rad hobby to me. Takes a respectable amount of skill for most of it.

    Here’s another miniature I made. The first two pictures are of a real blade from the 1960’s I found and restored. It’s 5’ wide. I made the small one, it’s 8” wide. Used a 4/40 stainless bolt and tig welded the head up and made a miniature grease fitting for the blade. They both were powdercoat painted.
