It's been a while...

[Shadowfax]

since I worked on a lathe the last time!

Today I had to start work for some project we're currently doing. It's combining theoretical background with a test-stand we've gotta develop ourselves

The thing shown on the imagine is basically nothing yet, but all the scattered metal looks nice
I'm taking pictures during the whole project, so if things DO get more interesting I'll post some other pics...
Things can go really wrong sometimes with these kind of things, providing nice photo-material

That shotglass on top could hurt a person after they've had a few.

 

[Dave]

nice polished finish on them.
what exactly are they?

 

[alex]

I think you just redefined the term "stiff drink"

I like the one in the middle of the last picture best.

 

[whoreable]

I know I love to spend thousands of dollars of tuition to make shiny metal drinking glasses!!!

Now, make us somethign useful! Like a plane!

 

[unclehobart]

How deep can you lathe those steel plugs before they buckle in the mechanism?

I'm just joking Shadow. They are beautiful "cups", very nicely polished.

I just don't quite understand what they're for....
