Pretty nice. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps working on the A6 and F4. Happened to be at MCAS Cherry Point NC when the first of our Harriers was delivered. That was one jaw dropping experience. Pilot did a mini air show so everyone went out to the flight line to watch. He ended by setting...

Welcome to the forum. While it is not as cool as a see through glass cylinder, you can make it out of thin wall PVC sewer / drain pipe. I just used the coupling that joins two pipe sections so I would not have to buy an entire length of pipe. Had to change some of the dimensions, but it still...

Welcome Tony. We always like to hear about new members. Tell us about what you have been up to in the shop.

Kermit; sure could have used one of those! Chuck, my wife would tell you that when dealing with rascals like me doubt is always a good strategy. ;D Zee; there is just no pulling the wool over your keen eyes!! The quarter was real and no photo shop used. Just a little perspective. Just tilt...

OK Zee, aeromotor8 and Dean. You hurt me deeply and question my integrity. So here you go. A picture with a REAL quarter. I swear; no photoshop or editing!!!

Very cool. Like the design, the sound and the way it runs. Nice job. Thm:

Smallest scale project I have done so far:

Rather than something thick or stiff I made my swarf shield out of Xray film material. About 7 thou thick and really tough. Just laid a rule on it and scribed it to make the folds. Easy to work with and really cheap (free). I have some other pics of the mounting if you want to see them. BTW...

Yep! Definitely the anti-Mickey. Don't know if you guys have seen it but there is a DVD called "Tails of the Rat Fink" that is a documentary of Roth. Even has some home movies of him. I grew up in the LA area as a kid. Roth used to paint custom T shirts at the county fair. He was well known in...

Here are two shots of mine. I take no credit for the idea for the mounting. Found it on line elsewhere and just made the brackets to do the mounting.

Installed 2 of them on my X2 and really like them. Just have them on the X and Y axis. I will change them out for longer ones when they become available. At that time I may put one on the Y as well. Love the way they work. They are well worth the price in my opinion. I did make some swarf...

Very nice. I like the way it looks and the way it runs. Great job. Thm:

Really impressive Brian. Appreciate all the thought, details and information you have put into this thread. Looking forward to the video. :bow:

Great! Thanks for posting. Be sure you have the plans with the upload dated in November as the older upload had a couple of dimensions wrong on the upright of the frame. Does not hurt to layout and visually confirm that all holes line up with the other parts BEFORE drilling. ;D Saves some...

Nice when you can be brief and summarize the project and video with a single word: AWESOME!! :bow:

Sure. Go check out www.dakil-auction.com, they are the largest in OKC. You missed the big auction frenzy back in the oil bust of the mid 80's. Many companies went out of business and the assets were auctioned off.

...and thanks to you for doing the tooth gnashing and research for the rest of us. :bow:

Outstanding job guys! Love the display and plaque. :bow:

Great idea and nice looking job. Thm:
