I recently have been rounding out my tool collection in order to fix up my steadicam and build some new parts. Had the drill press for a little while now but recently got a lathe, a miter saw(with the right blade its great for cutting aluminum) and a belt/disc sander(for grinding aluminum). Also lots of new drill bits, etc....

 

My newest creation is attached. I have lots more planned.

 

Anyone else been tinkering lately?

Very sweet looking Jess. This can get pretty addictive, especially knowing you can do it all yourself. Unfortunately, I do not do it myself but have someone to do the work for me. If I had shown interest a long time ago, I probably had too many things to list. smile.gif I remade a new chest/spar to replace the EFP original plating. I also made rod adapter to mount on the rear of the sled as an option, for fore and aft adjustments of the dual battery mount.
