But…

1. CINNAMON ROLLS READY TO GO IN THE OVEN!

2. MADE HUGE PROGRESS MILLING A SHOTGUN PART!

Face it. My hobbies rule.

Here are the rolls I threw out earlier, because I failed to add yeast to the dough. I baked them anyway. Eating failed baked goods is a guilty pleasure every cook has experienced. You know how it is. Failed baked goods taste fantastic, but it would be too embarrassing to serve them.

Here is the part I’m machining. I’m using a 1/2″ carbide bit at 1200 RPM. I am now in the process of milling the opening out, using the side of the cutter. I have no idea how much 1045 steel I’m allowed to take in one pass, but 0.030″ doesn’t seem to bother the mill. The cut is 1.2″ deep.

I started at about 800 RPM, but the cutter seems to like 1200 better.

Here is the part I’m trying to copy. Dubious photography, but you get the idea.

I don’t know how they taste cold, but hot, they blow Cinnabons away.

The rolls are unbelievable. Ate one, threw out six. They were too dangerous to keep near me.
