Hello Art

sometimes it is more difficult to make the tools than the cube . when you want to make a cube you have to think of only one step at the time, not the whole cube, just a step and what tool it's need.

Hey Marcel,
    How much time do you have in the last picture you posted, tooling and all. It looks like you are a very patient man.

Nice work,

Brett

Hello Brett

to make the tool took me 2 hours the first time i made it of hss when i tried it on turning blackwood it only lasted to cut 3 faces before it became blunt i had to replace it with a carbide one wich took me another 3 hours the tool is only .050 wide and .500 long all tools are hand ground with diamond grinding wheels . And that is only one tool , the other on made in carbide is more complicated being l shaped the tip of the tool is only .079 wide while the body is .040 . Hope this helps. to turn a face takes about 59 seconds with mach 3 so total machining time 12 minutes and still that does not account for all the special jigs needed to hold and mark the positions of the faces.

Yeap, I was right, you are a very patient man. These are amazing Marcel. I don't think anyone would mind if you put a post in the Bargain Basement section with some of these for sale.
