Check my fingers.

[skippy]

Did you do those ones, skippy?

Unfortunately I have to say no.
The evil leader did . I wish I could .
I'm still buying stuff to do that stuff

John, that looks great. You must have some balls, to go grinding on a 2100 jug. It's not some throwaway Stihl jug.

You can say that twice Clint

 

[skippy]

John is a nice guy

I let Randy have his way with my jugs. He really knows how to fondle... Er, uh, I mean, handle them.

[skippy]

I would have to try it multiple times on junk jugs first

 

[skippy]

For sure.

You fellas that make money on this wowey my hats off to you. That took way to friggin long. Id be in the poor house if my paycheck depended on it. And muh damn hand hurts now. I must be a big wus.View attachment 573

I'm with ya. Mind you I just tinker but I would be broke. Never attempted fingers save that for the pros.

 

[Redfin]

Did you run it before adding fingers?

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I was pretty nervous as i started.

I started with a pile of these James. Hopefully get it wrapped up soon.

Two of my stihls are quad port so i only have one other to practice on. But i do have a couple spares of these.

I'm seeing the tips being the most critical part.

I have near zero experience, just thinking flow.

With mine, I ran a caliper for the entire length of both to get equal tunnel depth. I used a square ended round carbide cutter to finish the tips evenly. If you hold the handle at the correct angle, you can get a perfect hemispherical tip with a 30* entry angle. I'll see if I can dig up a closeup.

Of course, the way I did it may be a total waste of time, who knows.

I needed a minimum of a 6 pack in me to have the balls to do it.

US chrome can fix some damage if you mess up.

I don't mind. You have some nice jugs.

 

[jmssaws]

Mmmmm jugs

 

[Deets066]

Damn fine nice work there! I believe I may have to try a set of dem finner's when I get back home

 

[Redfin]

I used a square ended round carbide cutter to finish the tips evenly.

I can see where a cylinder burr would be nice for the ends of these. I used two cut off wheels stacked, as Mike suggested for the tips. I broke the plating with a diamond round burr and finished them with an egg shaped carbide.

Randy i cant even fathom doing these in ten minutes. You should video that.

This is the jug that started me on finger and bridge ports.



Dennis Cahoon sent it to me. Told me to see if I could learn anything from it. I did. The first thing I learned that it ain't easy to replicate his work. lol
