In this part 1 we show how we mount a base board to an old workbench. We use 10mm bolts but the existing holes in the old workbench are 20mm. So we need to machine up some inserts so the bolts will fit. We do this on the metalwork lathe using acetal.

In this video we briefly show how we finished the trays. Some were engraved on a CNC Engraver. On others we cut an inlay strip using the router and then glued an inlay. Final finish is a clear varnish.

In this part 3 we make a template to enable us to cut the hand holds for the tray. We use the scroll saw to cut out the hand holds and use a sanding bit on the Dremel to sand these out smooth. We show how to glue and square up your dovetail joints. We then use the Harvey Table Saw to cut the bases and show how we drill, glue and nail the bases to the trays.

In this part 2, we use the Gifkins Dovetail Jig to cut our dovetail and straight cuts on the angled sides of the trays. We use our router table set up with the dovetail and straight cutters along with the Gifkins Dovetail Jig.

In this video we have a look at the project we are making, which is a wooden tray with angled dovetail joints. We cut the sides of the trays using the table saw, along with the cross cut sled. We then work out our 9 degree angle on the drop saw and cut the angled sides.

In this video we compare the output of 3 different function generators we have built. 1. Whadda Signal Generator by Velleman - operates on a 555 timer. 2. Elenco Function Generator FG-500 - operates on an IC - the XR2206 with some other basic components for biasing and frequency selection. 3. Jameco Function Generator (Part no. 20685) - also operates on the XR2206 Integrated Circuit with some o...

In this video, we build the Altronics Logic Probe. We show basic electronic kit construction techniques along with helpful tips. Soldering, placement of components etc. We also cover how to test electronic components like diodes, capacitors, resistors etc using a basic multi meter. We then test the Logic Probe and show what it does.

In the final part of this project we use the Hafco HM 54GV mill to cut a recess in the first bracket using an end mill. We then cut the adjustment holes and show the finishing touches including tapped holes for the securing screws and how it works.

In this video we machine out part of the second bracket using an end mill on the Hafco HM 54GV to accommodate the servo motor.

In this part 4 we cut out a bulk piece of our rectangle aluminium block using the metal bandsaw to make a "L" shape. Then we machine it to the required dimensions using the mill.

In this part 3 we prepare the second part of the bracket by squaring up an uneven bock of aluminium, then we cut the piece in half using the metal bandsaw.

In this video we introduce a new project using the Hafco HM-54GV mill. This is an aluminium two-piece bracket that holds a servo motor. It will allow adjustment for the servo motor arm to activate a button. In part 1 we do some basic machining to square up the first piece of the bracket. In this part 2 we cut out the area where the servo motor will fit.
