I got a lathe about four months back and a mill a few weeks ago. I am about to get a serious start on a dozer. I have been learning how to operate both machines and have had a few little learning projects already come thru the shop.
My most recent project is making some steady rest wheels for my brother-in-law. The steady rests are for a fishing rod lathe. I also did a set if pneumatic brakes for an RC jet, and a conversion of a belt reduction drive to allow an electric motor instead of glow. Also pictured are two prototype track pads I'm thinking about trying a pinned crawler track for the NyLint dragline.
