Machined pengun - Dimply

[POLAND_SPUD]

I knew you'd comment on that pic... and yeah that FN looks suspicious.. I guess they get a lot of cool stuff in lots of small crates (yeah I know that they say that

it was taken from forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi at Misrata's western front line

)

not to start a political debate but long live Muammar Gaddafi!!

JSR, What the hell is that?


Maudit, looking good, keep up the good work.

That would be a new casing being turned up for an RPG. Recycling at it's finest!

Agreed, the FN is a very odd sight among everything else there

[warhead052]

That fn2000 looks awesome. But I agree, it is an out of place weapon.

It's beginning to look a lot like..

nice, its almost done! And like i have always said and it even fits to this very good: smaller the problem, bigger the hammer!

[Labtecpower]

Another video I fully watched !
Starting to look very nice (as always with machined stuff)
I think you can polish it even more, a mirror effect would be nice

[LeMaudit]

I think you can polish it even more

I will I was eager to share it with you.

bigger the hammer!

I do have different hammers to solve different kinds of problems

[jakethebeast]

problem solvers... i have some too. 1kg,1.5kg,2kg,4kg...

[LeMaudit]

okay okay... I admit the body was not polished to perfection... yet!
(the eraser is there only for a nice color touch)



I used those pads, a few seconds for each on the lathe in sequence, while the body was rotating.



And the next question would be: Where? Where??

Here: Micro-Mesh® Pen-Sanding Pads

now THAT looks nice!
JSR will like it

[warhead052]

Nice. I can't watch the video right now, but I will watch it tonight when I get home.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

This is coming along swimmingly! Can't wait to get started need to go through the videos again.

I haven't watched the video, but I'm wondering what your rationale is behind supporting the work with a tap rather than with a bolt or piece of threaded rod? I personally wouldn't load up a small hardened tap like that, but I guess whatever works

[LeMaudit]

but I guess whatever works

Well, the first cutting plan did use a threaded rod... but I didn't have any at hand with this particular thread. I could have cut one.. but needed to describe it on the video. So... well... laziness win!

A threaded brass rod would have been less hard than the tap though, and also not as well centered I guess. Also note that the cut was very light as I already turned to almost size all the pieces. The cut was less than 0.5mm (0.02")

Well, that's all the bad reasons I could think about
