Ep. 61: Schrodinger's Guest Part 2

This week on The Lone Machinist, the "Original Kurt" returns to reclaim his throne (or at least a guest spot) as we welcome Jon Dillehay from 2SM Performance and Engine Trix. We dive deep into the mechanical prowess required to maintain a garage-based empire, the tragedy of the Harbor Freight bandsaw graveyard, and why Jamie is currently machining at a feed rate of "boobs millimeters per minute".In this episode, we tackle the hard-hitting questions, such as:Can Curt actually read?  Is John a psychic? How many bandsaws is too many? Why are anodizers the devil? The Garage Dream: Waking up at 2:00 a.m. to the sound of money (and Shopify notifications), sipping coffee in a bathrobe, and turning on a phase converter while the rest of the neighborhood sleeps.Whether you’re here for the two-stroke engine talk, the "dust maker" end mill that evaporates aluminium, or Curt's latest obsession with self-hosting his photos to escape the cloud, there’s something for every machinist who’s ever felt alone with their machines.Links Discussed: Hofmann and Vratny: https://hitech.co.za/products/hofmann-and-vratny Engine Trix: https://www.enginetrix.com/ Mini Monster: https://minimonster.ca/The Lone Machinist: Website: https://thelonemachinists.com/ Bonus Content: https://thelonemachinists.com/#bonus-content Merch: https://www.jspeceng.com/online-store Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheLoneMachinistsNeed Work Done?
