I'm taking a course in machining at a local tech college. Was hoping for some suggestions of good projects

I’m thinking of making a few tools for gunsmithing. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

 

you could make a custom oil cap fer the ol girl.

 

How about a little Stirling cycle engine.

 

x2 on that 710 cap

 

Oil filter adapter.

 

what kind of adapter?

 

like a relocating kit I would imagine......

 

Dual filter?

 

I took 2 yrs of machining in high school and made some tools that I would use alot. some of the things I made were ballpean hammer out of steel, made a meat tenderizing hammer from aluminium, some clamps, a small machinist vise, and a couple paintball gun barrels for some friends.

 

Make it interesting .... how 'bout a reversed double helical gear with a 64 spline hole in the middle ??


Every machinist worth their salt has made an air or steam driven motor at some point in their career. Give that a shot .... fun to dig out and play with for years afterward.
