Ha!
No, not the file transfer site!
Pulled out one of the many boxes of material drops left over from other projects. Not very handy to use and require more prep but was kind of fun to make a dozen different types and sizes of clamp stops. Always looking for ways to use up small chunks of left over material and share with others, maybe get some cool ideas of what they make from left over material drops. btw some models are posted to grabcad

That indicator mount is Awesome !
Thanks, i guess once you do a project it actually seems simple, yours seems much more complicated to me. The tool changer looks a complex but it really is simple once it broken down to the few components.
And I was thinking the custom machine programing to load and unload tools was kind of outside my comfort zone. I have an art to part work flow that is pretty well rehearsed. I even tend to complicate the part designs just to make them more interesting to make. Not hard to design and fabricate this lathe indicator holder in a couple hours the other day. Anyway all good stuff and I need to just get out of my comfort zone and do something new!
All the goofing off designing and making a dozen sizes of these work stops a couple years ago paid off. Simple shop made tools like this can come in handy when your looking for a fast solution. All made from small scrap in boxes.
I intend to design and fab some dedicated low profile t-track work stops but for testing a simple setup these worked great.
Not much interesting reading in the forums so I figured I would share one of my recent projects.
In my quest to use up more scrap from all the drop boxes around here. And in this case try to organize a mess at same time.
This is one of a couple areas
Draw something up
Dig around in all the drop boxes around here for material to use.
Finished and ready for use.
Just need to design and make a few more for the other areas.
