Podunk it is standard practice to buy a ad for the web site to advertise for any business, Contact SSS AKA Slim the web master/owner for ad costs.See the forum rules.

Whoops -- sorry, Glen. Podunk has indeed been in touch with me -- and this is the way he's going to be presenting his stuff. It's sort of an experiment to see if it works instead of a regular ad. I guess I'm at fault, if anyone, for not making a notice at the top of the thread, telling everyone what's going on.
Mea Culpa.

I can testify that the correct scrub radius hubs Terry made for my old RATICAL were the MAJOR reason it quit hunting its way to the finish line like a Roadster!!!!!!!!! :-D

Shortened inboard side of front hubs for Milwaukee Midget to get clearance to drop front end. Also shortened spindles to clear moondiscs.

It's all about being short.
First class work, Terry. All fits nicely. I'll do some assembly this weekend and post up the pics.
Oh, and yes, I found the steering arms in the basement, so you can stop tearing your shop apart . . . :oops:
An upside to this operation is that it gave me a slightly closer to 0 scrub radius - about as close as one can get and still clear the inside fenderwells.
Thanks, Terry - see you in Indianapolis!

Just started machining Sparky's front wheels for Goodyear 17x4 Front Runners.

Those are too nice to use.

Too nice for SPARKY to use! :evil:
Just kiddin' . . . :cheers:

May be to nice for me --
but not for Ms Liberty---she is going to enjoy her new front wheels and tires---nice and new just like the rest of her!!! When Terry gets them done he will ship them to Cowboy Tire Co for the 2 Nates to mount and evaluate them!!

Sparky's finished 17"x4" wheels for Goodyear Top Fuel Front Runners.

GORGEOUS.
Some people try to reinvent the wheel - You've PERFECTED it! :cheers:

:-o WOW those things look beeuutiful
I can't wait to see them in person al mounted with the new Goodyear's when I pick them up at Nate's Cowboy Tire Co. in a couple of weeks!!!

Haven't posted for quite a while. New house & new shop have kept me busy. I have done some projects & will post photos.

Jacksoni was having problems with a shifter arm cracking in one of the bends. Black one, bend closest to open area. Machined new one with larger radius,thicker section and polished radii and edges from 4130 annealed plate. Made it thru Speedweek.

Made all four wheels for John Goodman's, ggl205, lakester. These are front. Two piece for 10" aircraft tires, with billet Moon style cover.

ggl205 Front wheels with tire and Moon style disc. I did talk with Chico ( spelling ?) at Speedweek and he is OK with me calling these Moon style discs.
Thanks Chico, Terry

Sparky's shortening a rearend for Ms Liberty. Thought was to skin id of existing axle tubes inline with carrier bearing bores. Problem is existing tubes are approximately .080" off center. Not enough material to bore on center. We decided to skin id of tubes on their location parallel to bearing bores. Then turn OD of new tubes with a .002" shrink fit. Then "adjust" new axle tubes to get outer axle bearings in the right place. Hard to believe factory machining is this far off.

A friend is restoring a1932 Duesenberg. Needs hood beltline trim. Contour is different one end to the other. Shown is finished trim and fixture to hold it thru it's own mounting holes.

And this is coming from somebody who used to own an Austin Healy Sprite!

Yeah but 200 HP of aluminum Buick helped straighten things out.

Guess who this was for.

I recognize the number.... it got someone in the club driving an I/GL :cheers:

Terry, my wheel plans are slightly on hold while I determine if I stay with my current spindle... got a lot of inspecting to do...
Great meeting and talking to you at SW

Anybody having issues with posting here? Pork Pie says his screen doesn't show the "reply" buttons (and such). Everything looks fine to me -- how 'bout youse guys?
-
Goofy me! Now I've got it -- I set this up to be a read-only Forum page, and administrators and such can post to that kind of page. That's why Stainless and MM and I see regular-appearing pages and youse guys don't.
I'm at the shop and the password (so I can get in and re-do the settings) is at home. Later, okay?
Sorry for the cornfusion.

Terry, thanks again for that....great job from you
-
Thanks Jon- I have also been unable to post here. I wanted to thank and give many Kudos to Podunk for working with me on my shifter issue. He has posted some great looking photos of carving the arm from a big solid chunk of 4130 steel. I had previously had 2 stock shifter arms break with as few as 3-4 runs on them, Mfg was pretty clueless as to cause but very good with replacements for free. They are relegated to emergency spares. The one made here worked flawlessly at the recent speedweek making 15 runs. Great work!! Thanks!!!

All this time, I thought I was the only one singing Terry's praises.
The guy's great, and he "gets it".

Does it still work?

Test, test.

edit: seems to work. :-D

Not exactly LSR but it could be a racing team logo. My daughter sells hair care products. This is the logo of one of her customers. The original image is 1/2" on a business card.
The plaque 1/2"x18"x24" aluminum. The image is raised .150" above the background. They liked it.

Nice work, Terry.

:-o so does this mean you are moving on from machinist to "artisiteest" :-D preparing for the next life?
Just enjoying as much of this one as I can
-
The plaque look nice. Was that straightforward 3-axis CNC milling?

Sparky, I've seen your wheels -
Podunk is the Michelangelo of the Machinist Trades.
-

Almost. I scan the image from the business card into the cad/cam software. Then trace it to create lines and arcs and resize. Then a feature called embossing creates a 3D image to my specks and toolpath is created from that. There is 52 hours of spindle run time in this plaque. Enjoyed every minute of it.

So, you were drinking Foster's while watching cartoons as your CNC was cutting chips for 52 hours? Is that about right, Terry?

That was because if you are like me it is nice to confirm we can still make our brains function---- most of the time :-D

John,

I have decided to stop doing machining for racers. The CRS is getting bad and I don't want to make a part that hurts someone or something. Standing at the 5 when my wheels go thru the lights at 420 mph, making hubs for Sparky that were on the first unblown gas lakester over 300 are going to be some of the last things to go. Thanks to all that viewed the site.

:? HMMMMM is this sorta like you saying "I think I may be going blind cromag but I am not going to sign up for braille classes just yet?" :deal Yep but finger tip sensitivity training classes may be in order-- :clap -- yeah that sounds about right!!!

I started the finger tip training classes when I was 16.
