Quixoticgeek<p>Things! I made things!! I pair of custom D bit cutters. The top one is 88° and designed for deburring 90° holes. The lower one is 92° and is for milling mitre channels in brass. </p><p>They still need hardening, and sharpening, and in the case of the deburring one, gluing into the handle. </p><p>But I'm pleased with where I got them to today. </p><p>Finally actually achieved something in the workshop. Been stuck in such a rut recently. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakersHour</span></a></p>

I've been making in one form or another since I was a child. I can't think of a time I've not been making things. I helped my parents with the things they made and progressed to making stuff on my own. </p><p>But everything moved up a gear when I joined a makerspace at the start of 2024, this gave me access to much improved tools I had previously thought I wouldn't be able to ever have access to. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakersHour</span></a></p>

Both are incredibly talented makers who I've learnt a lot from. Quinn's Mill basics and Lathe Basics videos have been fantastic for learning machining. </p><p>I'd also love to do a sewing colab with Bernadette Banner. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakersHour</span></a></p>
