Home build induction heater
IT would seem the creator has gone missing however it would still seem he has enough information on his github to still do it yourself, I think I am going to take the next couple of weeks to study what he is doing and see if I can remember any of my digital and semi conductor stuff I learned in college to recreate it.

Hello From Shelbyville, KY
So I had to take some pictures today of our shop because for a possible move. Figured I share what I do all the time. This is a small lathe Pair of Old school Bridgeports, One made in 1958 the other 1964. And one of the High Pressure Valves I assemble on a regular basis.

Best drill bits for harder metals
The best drill bits I used at work are PartMaster Cyrobits CyroBits They cut mild steel with ease and I have had no problem when ever I needed them to cut tool steel.

https://goo.gl/DJP3vq Box weave I believe is what you would call it. The picture is before I took a wire brush to it. I am not going to use this one. I had an idea to incorporate some steel balls into it. I am not going to share a picture of my smoker as its the project I am learning to weld and welding sheet metal with a stick welder for my first time does not look very pretty at all.

Hello From Shelbyville, KY
Whats going on fellas? I am from Shelbyville, KY and honestly have not really smithed any thing yet. I have helped some friends do some castings, but I think I got the "bug", My grandfather gave he an old Miller stick welder from the early 70s which means it will last forever and I started my first welding project, a smoker. I do enjoy working with metal, some of the best days at work is on the manual Mill or lathe making "Custom" or "Just get that <blanking> job done parts." Any ways, I been planing ahead to make handles for my smoker door because I am getting pretty close to that point, so I got some 1/4" round bar, used my acetylene torch and did a simple handle braid. Now I am hooked already, bought more metal and have several ideas on the ways to make this simple braid even more cool. (at least in my mind) So i am sure in the next coming months and weeks I will be going to flea market and see if I can pick up any old black smithing tools and reading this forum for the tons of information that is available. See you around.
