Back to work! And here is my latest project, a precision plunge base that can be used with Dremel-type multitools. I will use scrap pieces of Hpl panel, steel rod, two brass sleeve bushings, two springs and some screws. I hope it works!
For the sake of aesthetics and in order to ensure the epoxy adhesive works better, I sanded down the melamine layer on both sides of the HPL, it looks great!
