This is a little fixture I laser cut to hold the key blanks for engraving. Ended up making about 750 of these for the campaign. That was A LOT of hand work filing, sanding, and grinding. Not looking forward to the next batch.

Follow me on Instagram?
Hey folks,
I'm sure you can tell my blog momentum has fallen to about zero. Sorry about that! I like to post general musings and goings on, but I've been soooo busy I just haven't been able to find the time. Of course I find time to post things like my latest Kickstarter campaign, and then I beat myself up because the blog starts feeling way too commercial.

As a result, I've started using Instagram a lot. It's a super easy way to let people know what I'm working on "right now" and that works well for me. So, two things:

Trying out some new aluminum-specific carbide inserts.
That's a pretty awesome mirror finish right? I've been wanting to try these polished inserts forever and I finally found a good (great) deal on a box of them on eBay and had to pull the trigger. Turns out they work really well on stainless and titanium too...as long as you don't care about tool life. The sharp edge is really fragile and breaks down quickly under tough cutting conditions.
