A neat aluminum spider. Not hand machined, but still a cool little project.

Fire Pistons

I’m not really sure how I grew up camping all the time, many times in the in fairly remote wilderness, as well as becoming an Eagle Scout without ever hearing about fire pistons. A while back I came across this post on Make about them and did some research. It seems like a great machining project, and a fairly simple one at that.

Beautiful metal and wood door… steampunk ahoy

Tic Tac Toe

Here’s a neat fairly simple looking tic tac toe board. CNC’d, but it doesn’t seem like it’d be hard to do manually either.

Maybe not the most functional item. I mean if you can’t remember when you opened a bottle of wine that isn’t finished, chances are you drink too much anyways…

But still a neat item from a machining perspective.
