Transmission side of the lathe. If you can possibly avoid it, never rig up your own multi-belt transmission. Getting all the tensions and alignments correct is miserable. The red v-belt is a Fenner add-a-link. They're supposed to lower vibration and have a much longer lifetime than standard v-belts. Plus they're much easier to get into an enclosed pulley system. You can see big spacers lifting the motor up from the bed: the rubber v-belt is way too short. I should've gotten more of the Fenner belting.

Sparkling AAA quality micro-faceted heart briolettes of deep red hessonite garnet dangle from my own handmade ‘spiral loop earwires’ made from sterling silver wire which has been shaped, gently hammered and then polished and hardened in my jewellery tumbler. The earwires are designed so that the spiral sits on the earlobe.
During Collegium Caidus 2009, we observed Bronze Casting by a very knowledgeable family.
An electric heater was used to heat the mold and crucible. A small electric heater was used to melt the bronze, 4 oz at a time.
A snap arm centrifuge was utilized to move the molten bronze from the crucible into the mold.
This is a mock-up I fabricated quickly (and rather sloppily) to understand some basic principles of locksmithing. It is based on a design common to locks of 15th century Germany. This was known as a snap lock, as the springs kept a constrant pressure on the bolt, which would snap shut again when the key was removed. This lock would have been bolted directly onto the outside of the interior side of the door. A hole through the door would have been covered on the outside by a metal escutcheon. This lock features two bolts, as multiple bolts were common on locks in those days, presumably as in impediment to thieves. I borrowed the particulars of this design from an antiques site: www.fischer-antics.de/locks_padlocks_antiques/locks_padlo... .

A highly educated and talented musician, Pier began studying music at a young age with a variety of music teachers and institutes. Starting with the guitar, Pier expended his ambitions after many years of private study to learn other instruments, such as bass and piano. He subsequently began an in-depth study of Music Theory. After about nine years of intensive study in Music Theory and Performance, Pier began his Universtiy career and achieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts with specialized Honours in Music (Performance and Theory). During his five-year study at York University, Pier developed a passion for both Jazz and Classical composition, and has composed a number of pieces to date.
Pier then turned his sights to the Music and Entertainment Industry, and spent several years learning the multiple techniques and roles of the industry. The combination of Pier's vast music background and his engineering studies has led him to work with a variety of multi-media from music to TV and film. Some of his credits include: the Life Network, and WTN. Pier is currently working on the composition of his first symphony.
This is a blowhorn stake anvil. Though I have it sitting in the hardie hole in the anvil for the picture, you don't actually use it here like this. I clamp it in my post vise when I want to use it.
