The madness needs to stop...how about a GROUP PROJECT?

I like the idea of participating in a group effort. I'll be happy to help out with it.
 
Here's a machine idea now that I'm watching a bunch of vintage machinery :) What about a bevel-gear cutting adapter for a mill? I don't know what a generic one would look like, but it seems like something that would be useful to a number of people, and isn't readily available.
 
I presumed the "lead" person was doing assembly and everyone else was mailing them completed parts. I thought about the pass around box, but it seems more tolerant of losing the box (and didn't one disappear just a year or two ago?).
The issue with all of these ideas, including Pass Around is that the box can get lost or stolen. This is an assumed risk.

Yep, I agree! The hope with only the lead person getting all the parts is that at least until it is completed, our risk is all in 1 person (rather than the list of people).

Lending it out of course would be difficult/dangerous, but from my perspective, the journey is the fun :)
 
I will join in & make my part, whatever that may be. I would request a drawing & tolerance.
 
Just had a thought. If the project was not too complex and there are a lot of people interested, we could have two designs and two dueling teams. I am also curious if anyone here can cast cast iron? I have not tried that yet.

Oooh, so I just had a project idea! There aren't plans as this is a school project that some guy did and the instructor keeps the plans otherwise secret, but this is really awesome : https://www.reddit.com/gallery/lj8q8w

Not particularly useful to lend out, but I'd love to give it a try! He gives a ton of pictures across a number of threads on Reddit, so perhaps it is easy enough to RE from that.
