I decided to donate my "world's shiniest C-clamp" to the college to use as a display piece. It's my way of finally closing this chapter of my life, and giving thanks to the course that dragged me out of perpetual wage slavery. Onward and upward. #chattstate #machining #hardestyearofmylife (at Chattanooga State Community College)

Screw Jacks. They're used in various applications mostly to hold objects level. These are probably the best threads I've ever done. And in my profession, the most important tool I've made so far #machinist #machinetooltech #chattstate #projects #metal #shinyobjects (at Chattanooga State Community College)

Outside of the time I spend in Pale Rider, I've been living a very artless existence since about last August. Between a grueling schedule of work and school there isn't really much time or energy left for me to make something creative or beautiful. I have to take what little chances I do get to make something special. I can honestly say though that this beautiful mirror-polished C-clamp is, indeed, art. #chattstate #machinetool #cclamp #art #craftsmanship (at Chattanooga State Community College)

If the first one was "hammer time", this new one is "2 legit 2 quit. 15 days after the first one, I made a new, better hammer. Tighter tolerances, tighter threads, better knurling and better, more scratch free finish. Now THIS one I can turn in. #machinist #machinetool #hammer #chattstate #mchammer #datknurlingtho (at Chattanooga State Community College)
