Do we like work in progress (wip) threads on here?

[apextwenty2]

Wip or work in progress threads are a long tradition in other forums. So I thought I would try and bring that same theme here. Being as I’m a one man shop and these grinders are all essentially custom made I can provide some hopefully entertaining and informative content.

this grinder is on the finishing bench getting the inside of the inset portion polished as well as getting the texture on the flat. I’m using a foredom rotary tool and a carbide but to cut in this texture. I’m not 100% sure how I’m going to finish this one out.

If you all enjoy these I will start a new thread on the next batch and try and highlight all of interesting aspects.

Anyway, if you want to see more of these let me know.

Nice are you working dry or using some lube?

For the rotary tool work it’s dry. I use mineral oil if they get any hand sanding.

Thanks, I’ll update it as I work on this grinder.

I’ll drop another work in progress picture on here for fun. This is a shot inside the mill after the final operation on a grinder. I hope you all enjoy these.

I guess I don't understand why WIP threads are necessary. I like thread consolidation. The accessory maker for the flux IHs & subsequent versions & new models gives all his product & future updates in his 1 thread. He regularly posts his WIP thoughts & pics.

I've been busy with my day job and neglecting to post any progress updates on here. I've got something I hope you all find cool. Here are some progress pictures and followed all the way through with the final product photography. I hope you all enjoy.

They are with the carving roughed in and show the progress in a few pictures and I show the dental tool I used to carve the Titanium.

Let me know if you enjoy seeing content like this.
