Welcome to NYC CNC! Follow along as we tackle metalworking, machining, fabrication, prototyping and more!
I love mixing in new technology (CNC machines, Arduino's) with old school equipment (manual lathes, fabrication) to create prototypes, projects and other job-shop style work!
Everything from bullet drawing dies to powder coating tutorials to fixturing in the CNC mill.
When I started machining, YouTube was a great source of information - and it still is today! I love metalworking and hope this channel serves as a way to "pay it forward" to all those who have helped me learn.
America and the rest of the world need more engineers - hopefully we can all do our part to help encourage this!

Having been a long time shooter and reloader, I am undertaking my next project for my new Emco V13 lathe: Making Copper Bullet Jackets. The process steps are to blank a copper coin out of a strip of copper, cup it, then draw it in to progressively longer and thinner-walled shapes. The goal in this project is to end up with a 9MM jacket which will be about 0.6" long and 0.352" in diameter. That jacket can then be used in a swaging system (e.g. Corbin) and combined with a lead slug to make an actual bullet!
