    Started learning to do single-point threading on the lathe tonight as well. Took me a couple tries but got a thread in the end! Next up is making one to a more precise diameter that will actually thread into something :)

    A small round piece of aluminum on Sen’s hand, with 3/4 of it threaded, then a couple different diameter smooth sections with chamfers between them

    @0x09 it’s so much fun. I keep holding things I made going “I made this, how is it possible that I made this out of a chunk of metal?!” It just feels like magic.
