Protodyne

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far. I’m 30 miles from Asheville and will be losing service soon.

Loading up a bobcat, generator, trailer, truck, chainsaw and headed to Asheville from Charlotte Thursday morning. If anyone has friends or family needing assistance let me know where to go.

Finally landed the new Protodyne shop car 😍 Party on 🤟🏼

I have no regrets, but I would never again be willing to endure the amount of sacrifice, loneliness or sleepless days and weeks it took to get here. I am both thankful and lucky it turned out as well as it has. Almost time to play!

Carbide insert holders for a titanium bar peeler fresh from black oxide.

Finally getting things organized and put away like I’ve always wanted the shop to be. It’s not but it’s improving..slowly.

Daisy is proud of her new ! Just kidding, I’m not sure exactly what this will be doing, but it was definitely tougher than I expected. As it turns out there is a small amount of stress in 6061 T6 plate. I had to keep moving around because the part kept twisting as material came out. 450lbs down to ~100lb.

Floor joists going together for the mezzanine finally!

It didn’t look that big in the model 🙊

It’s getting hot in here, SO HOT..or however that song goes 🤔 Anyways, trying my hand at heat treating in house.
