I've perused these forums for quite a while and it's shocking how much better other members projects look in their photos.
Gorgeous surface finish, perfectly machined parts - I am so jealous!
It occurred to me that my problem was not my lack of machining skill or equipment and tooling but rather the existing conditions of my shop that led to photos of my projects looking rather amateurish and rasty.
For today's project I stumbled on a way to make the images of my POTD really outstanding - I replaced the overhead lighting instruments in the workshop photo area with the newest release of Darkness Emitting Arsenide Diode fixtures and the photos speak for themselves!
I've attached a photo of the lathe setup for my forward/reverse threaded 'even wind' adapter for winch cables- adapted from fishing reel technology but upsized for 3/4" cables - as you can clearly see from the photo there is absolutely nothing about the project that can be criticized.
Success!
