Metal shop project: Making Diamonds!

[bobs409]

I've been in the diamond business the past 2 days. Yesterday I made an aluminum diamond from 1" round stock. Today I made one from 2" Black Delrin.

I think I got that out of my system. On to other things...



If you would like to see the video where I learned how to make these, it's here:

Yes, there are more important things to do like making pyramids.

Diamond in the rough, I like it.

Nope, gonna put them with my big spark plug!

And where did that end up?

And where did that end up?

In a display case in the house. I'd show a pic but it's WAY too dusty! One of these days I'm gonna clean that...

You'll have time soon when the snow flies.

 

[bobs409]

I'll have to do this: (any excuse not to clean...)

Speaking of this, is that plow mounted and working?

Still sitting under the tarp where I put it from last season. I do have to check over the business end, I see some oil/fluid on my bumper. I did find one loose bolt so maybe that was causing it. Will have to check the fluid and test it out soon.
