I miss building injection molds , now i'm a die maker for the auto industry , talk about completely different worlds of tolerances.

I could imagine lol. Our injection molding process has been dwindling over the years..

I have a lot of hours spent making molds for almost every quaker boy call you see on the shelves , as well some really cool R+D stuff they never went through with.

That's cool to work with things we're passionate about. I thought about building a few pot calls. Lol I've built some climbing sticks and such

Any chance you made the molds for the .25 Marauder single shot tray?

Letem I do sell them but currently I don't have any ready and I am still in the process of moving so I don't have the lathe set up. Once I get it up and running I will hopefully get a stock back I can do custom's also.  I will try to post more pics later tonight.

don't have access to that stuff really anymore.  so nope. if I did I'd make something similar to an EZ Press bow press for personal use.

back in college (engineering) I was on a snowmobile design team that competed in an SAE sponsored international engineering competition.  modified sleds to make them cleaner and quieter than production/factory sleds.  had a full machine shop across the hallway from our shop.  I made brackets, mounts, etc.  we made whatever was needed for the sled out of material that was laying around.

Every year it seems I try to make my sled less economic,louder and faster.

I made a spine tester,pics in this thread.
 
 

Did you make this to check straightness only? Or were there other reasons

That's pretty neat, I work in a tool room that services a campus for the mining industry, gas and oil, pneumatic, pharmaceutical, food you name it.

yea that's usually the case.  this was a collegiate competition though so we had to make the best of trying to make a sled have better fuel economy, cleaner emissions, and quieter for the community its in.  some team members moved on to work for Polaris and other companies.  I believe our team had the first 4 stroke sled.  turbo'd and intercooled a scooter motor and then dropped it into a ProX Polaris race sled chassis.  it was equivalent to a 440 fan sled, crazy fuel economy, and with the hood closed you couldn't hear it sitting at idle with a normal conversation going on.  among other things the inside of the hood was lined with basically similar material a magic eraser is made out of.  hijacking the thread though so i'll leave it at that.

I like to restore things this summers project was a neglected canoe.

Here's a few more calls, all grunt calls.  I also put together arrows. I love the look of wood but I shoot carbons so its more of a build you own!
