Didn't take you long to make use of that silver steel! Good job, makes me feel slack just looking at targets through an eyepiece all arvo.

Thanks for coming down, was good to meet up.

Well done Andre, it's surprising how quickly something so handy can be made.
I'll have to agree, Ewan is very inspiring, he has got me off my backside a couple of times and made me go out to the shed and finish something.
You must be loving the new tools you got from Keith.

If your ever down this way feel free to drop in. Same goes for anyone wanting to drop in and say g'day.

I'd have to say there are plenty of inspiring work on this forum, its great to be a part of it all.

Cheers,

I made one of these -

I mean - after I'd fixed up the mill head, mounted the chuck for the dividing head, done some stuff in the house, ... There was not much time left.

Getting some training in Michael ! Next is one of these.

I was watching one of Keith Ruckers youtube videos, questions and answers I think, and he had a tap guide that he made or procured from somewhere and he was talking about the point being on one end and a centre drilled hole on the other end for the pointy ended taps.
I thought that was a great idea.
I pulled mine apart to do the same and lo and behold, I already had a centre hole drilled.
I must have used the tailstock for support.
So gadget altered in less than zero seconds

Thanks Ewan can't see us getting to ACT any time soon. Of course if heading to Sydney Hinchinbrook is just off the M7,M5 welcome to pop in and I could then drain your brain for knowledge.

I'm sure its a very good job but ..... What does one do with it ?

Bill

I was going to ask the same question Bill! .....I don't know what it does but I want to make one!

It wouldn't be of much use unless you have a kaiser boring head to put it on......

So I had a go at some gadgetry. Not a gadget really but a missing reversing stop. I made two because I know a bloke who is also missing one .

4140 coloured with a torch. A bit too blingish for my taste so I blackened mine after the photo shoot.
