Marty,

Fantastic modeling. Don't worry about Brett, he gets mad at anything and everyone as well.

Thanks gentlemen!
Rich, it just takes practice.
I've screwed up so many times.
I know what not to do.
I enjoy a challenge, at this point all I got is time.

The beauty is capturing all the details in 1/16.

Is that a stock wood cove mold making the base or scratch built?

I milled the MDF with a router.
I don't know how as looking back it looks like a scary procedure. I still have all my fingers!
So yes, made in the shop.

Having all your fingers is a good thing!!

Mdf is great but make plumes of dust.

February 2013 yielded another challenging machine.
The universal miller.
Again another CHB/Sierra west supersize.
The first image shows (again) materials used.
Like with my furniture I use the best materials for their purpose.

Truly amazing modeling, Mj in TN.
Even the shavings are to scale!

I think it's amazing that you could go to that size and have everthing come out perfect.

Outstanding!
Do you make the adjustment wheels/handles as well or do you buy those?

[Larry C]

Mj that is just outstanding!!!!!!!!! You must have some pretty nifty tools to pull something like that off; beside your great talent. I would call ALL your machines "Museum Quality".

[Jerry]

Now that I look at these again are you sure there not real machines that you took photos of?? 

Jerry

[labdad]

Thanks again. I am humbled.

Rick, the hand wheels are purchased.
They are brake wheels from smaller scales.
They (other scales pieces) come in handy.

Jerry you know better, you've seen the secret "in progress" shots
