Thinking about purchasing the 8 sided cutter head. for my MHM. If I do where can I get a V block attachment for my calipers?  

The versatile Morgan Hand Mill (MHM). Let me tell you some interesting things that the MHM can do for you. You can make Hex, Quad, or Penta rods. You can make them all with a swelled butt from mino...

Thanks for confirming that Apple devices work Tim. I'm thinking there's something wrong with my account privileges. I'm still curious if others have the same issue. I'll wait to hear back from Matt...

I am on an Apple machine and see the Create Topic button when in the "Morgan Hand Mill" subtopic.  So at least it might not be an Apple problem. Tim

Thanks. I've already emailed Matt. I'll try from my son's PC to test whether it's my devices or my account.

That is very curious.  I've only accessed the forum on a non-Apple deviceI, so no clue on if it is an Apple related quirk.  I think its an issue for the forum moderator/administrator.&nbs...

Thanks Rick. But I don't have that blue "Create topic" link. I've tried to see it on 3 devices and it's just blank there. Nothing but white space. I've tried multiple subforums also. I'm logged in ...

@Mike Falduto  At the main forum page, there does not seem to be a way to create a topic.  It appears one must be in a topic subforum in order to start a new topic. 

Can anyone tell me how to create a new topic? I can reply to a post but I don't see any way to start anything new.

I don't get tired of seeing pics of your shop.

I make almost only 4-piece rods, so have requirements somewhat different from those for rods with fewer pieces.  Despite that, here is what I do. I begin with node-prepped strips that are con...

Text of my full message to Rodmakers is below.  In regard to extra length on each end, what are you all using?  Tom's manual says 3" one each end and 2" more on the butt section for the h...

I have made a number of hexagonal wood rod tubes. Years ago at one of the gatherings someone had access to some green knitted sleeves and I bought quite a few yards of it. I sewed the bottom shut a...

Rick, We also use a rain gutter tank. After rough planing and heat treating we soak strips at least overnight and up to 2 days with as many as 4 rods in the tank separated with a metal divider so ...

I now steam my nodes as part of node prep, but I used to soak.  I used vertical PVC pipe and pulled individual strips out of the water with a flexible gripper.  It has a springloaded plun...

I've just completed prepping a bunch of strips and am ready to start planing tapers.  I have yet to do all the staggering and grouping for rod sections but will do that in the next couple days...

Hi Richard - Once you change out for the flat tip you can put the plane onto the bed with the plane weight in place at station "0".   From there just turn the dial that adjusts your cutti...

This is probably an easy question.  I have an older dial indicator for my MHM with a bullet shape tip.  I would like to change that to the flat round tip offered by TMR, but I'm unsure ho...
