Welcome to Back Yard Machinist
This website is under construction and experimentation as of July 19th, 2011
I will eventually show pictures of my shop and equipment along with projects I plan on making soon. These projects will be well documented with pictures and explanations. Quite a few of the projects will be making tooling and attachments to help me use my machinery better. For instance, I plan on making new dials for my 12x36 Atlas lathe.
One of my future hobbies will be faceting gemstones. This is something I have always wanted to try. I will attempt to make my own facetting machine. This is a machine with diamond laps which allows the grinding and polishing of gemstone facets.

I hope everyone comes back to watch my progress.
