"Brass Lanterns"

Hi Folks,

Up for sale are a few Brass Self Lighting Gas Lanterns in a one time design.

These are fairly large, but I had several requests for ones along this line.

They are 2.281 long X .750 over the flats of the hex.

Weight is 3oz. according to my postal scale.

These come loaded with a Green 3mm X 23mm SLGV.

The vial can be removed by taking out the 1/4-20 ss socket set screw in the bottom of the Lantern. The set screw has been drilled to allow viewing of the SLGV as well.

I'm asking $135.00.

Please Email jordanmetalart@gmail.com if you'd like to make a purchase.
All have been SOLD!!

Thanks for looking,

"Machining Of The Frames Completed"

Here we are,
I finished up the final machining of the Frames yesterday.
That included adding the detent hole, milling of the frame lock bar, and adding my makers mark.

Next up, I'll be starting the blades.

Thanks for checking in,

" And A Bit Further...."

Hey there Folks,
Here is another progress report for those of you that are following this project.
I was able to add the blade slots this past weekend on the 4th & 5th.
It took 18 passes on each frame with a .140 diameter carbide mill to reach the final slot depth. I had to alter the mill in the surface grinder by spinning the .1875 shank to under .140 to be able to achieve the final depth. With that much of the mill protruding from the tool holder, and the spun shank I was pleasantly surprised the one end mill made it through the entire lot of 20 pieces.

I'm not sure if you can see it in the pics, but these slots are cut along a radius, meaning the X, Y, and Z axis of the machine were moving simultaneously.

So here are a couple of pics...enjoy,

"Ahhh Progress"

Hi there folks,
Here are a couple of pictures of the 1st. run on the Ti Frames.
These still need the slot for the blade to fold into, as well as the frame lock cut out.
This was two and a half days or sawing, and run time.
I'm a gettin there;)

"So I've Been Slacking"

Yeah,
I've been slacking a bit on the Jordan Metal Art front.
Other than a little fiddling with the Whistle Protos, I haven't been able to do much the last few weekends.
I needed to take the time to tend to my sorely neglected yard, fix my John Deere, and take care of several wind storm damaged trees.
I hope you all can forgive me...:)
To make up for my selfishness I'll be starting the 1st. run of the Ti Integral Folders on Saturday.
I'm hoping to take them from raw material to finished product within two months time.
There may be some one off items popping up in that time as well.
Thanks for your patience folks, Kenn

"Trying my hand at some Whistles"

Hey there folks,
So after much proding by a few people I've relented, and decided to make a Whistle.
Now I figured if I was going to do it I'd go all out, and visit the classic Pea whistle design.
These prototypes are 6061-T6 Aluminum.
They are 1.625 long X 1.000 high, and .625 thick.
I'm still working on the optimum venturi slot placement, and will be looking for a suitable "pea" to add the trill effect.
I believe these will be nice with a type 3 hard anodize in black.
So, what do you think?
