Ep. 71: The World's Cutest Vice (and Other Lies)

from The Lone Machinists · host jamie peacock

Ever wondered what happens when two machinists get slightly too much caffeine and absolutely no supervision?This week on the Lone Machinist Podcast: One of us falls headfirst into an ERP system that started as “just a quick tool”… and is now basically a full-blown operating system  The other accidentally becomes a sticker manufacturer and nearly buys a $2000 mistake off Marketplace There’s a tiny dovetail vice so cute it should come with a warning label We talk shop spaces, power problems, and why 63 amps feels like a personality trait And yes… someone designed a magnetic spinning window thing after being peer pressured on Discord (as one does)Also featuring: ✔ Chip welding rage ✔ Packaging glow-ups nobody asked for ✔ Questionable naming decisions ✔ And the phrase “spinning disk of justice,” which is now legally bindingIf you like machining, making things, or slowly turning simple ideas into wildly overengineered projects… welcome home.Links Discussed: Template Maker: https://www.templatemaker.nl/en/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?
