114HLW Hex Drags

[Shark Hunter]

You have to do what works best for you I guess. This is not a task you are going to just zip through. It takes a little time and patience to get it right. I know the CF sheets cost too much to mess up. I did it the best way I could with the tools I had and it worked for me.
Anybody else to contribute? There has to be an easier way for a beginner to do it. A Sharpened hex punch out tool would be the ideal setup.

Maybe Sal in making one as his first project. If I were you I would ask him to make 2. one for each of you.

[Shark Hunter]

Good Thinking Mike! You hear us Sal, Ole buddy!

[BMITCH]

Anyone try and punch through 1.4 yet. Pretty GD tough!

[Shark Hunter]

I think a press would be in order here Bob.

I think Sal is caught in the Blizzard that we are enjoying at present. He's just too quite.

Mike

[Shark Hunter]

Yea, I'm getting some of that here too. I just got home from work and it is cold! and slippery out!
He's probably on that unimat as we speak.

We are in the midst of a severe winter cold spell here...

[BMITCH]

Wind outta the NE and COLD!! High today on my thermometer was 12. Nice!

[bluefish69]

Sure we can all laugh because Sal is missing but he is building some secret fishing reel part that all of us want.

Mike

When he is quiet be careful.......

[Alto Mare]

No Mike, just trying to keep warm here. I didn't play with that lathe yet, well except for the first day. 
The lathe didn't come with the tool holder, I will need to wait for that.
While waiting, I did customize something I had lying around, you should know what this is .
Any idea?
