That's a great job Bruce, it's nice to be able to make tools that are better than the commercially avaliable ones.
Here's a political algorithm for determining thread direction on grinding wheels....
Anti-clockwise Wheel Rotation is Right handed Thread ... same as Right Wing is Anti-communist
Clock wise Wheel Rotation is Left Handed Thread ........... same as Left Wing is Communist...
Just remember Right==Anti

Number of Indexing Holes
Thanks Michael for making contact with your long lost great uncle. I have been surprised with the number of unknown relos I have.
Please remember me when writing your will, always interested in tools & quality machines! (Send Photos)
Getting back to your question,I could not recall the hole numbers in the indexer, till I checked this morning.
You were amazingly close in your estimate.....
The holes are 24 30 35 36.
I do not know why I selected 35 perhaps it was due to the possiblity that I had a seven sided hardened press metal punch to grind accurately.
Its 52 yrs ago & when you are a great uncle, its hard to remember all the details. BT will understand
Over the years, I have used this Indexer a number of times on the Drill press, & on the Mill.
Most times its for 2 or 4 or 6 spacing.
It was used to drill a 12 hole layout on a model stationary steam engine I built (see photo)
Thanks again, for your interest.

Hey you other guys step aside, I got in as son first, LOL
Though I am a smoker, so going off what they tell me on TV I will die well before you so you might end up getting my tools, LOL
Nice Steam engine Bruce, another one that could have done with it's own thread instead of being buried here. Great work. and feel free to put up more photos of it.

Always after more tools
Dave
Yet another relo! Wow they are coming out of the woodwork
Always best to get the legal stuff done legally. You can guarantee as soon as someone "Croaks it" there is a rush of friends & unknown relos.
I will continue with the photos, as a picture is worth a thousand words.
Since Bob BT & Bryan country SA have put me on the right track with the camera its given me something more to strive after.
Always like reading your posts
regards
Bruce

Now that's an engine, I like the taper on the conrod.
+1 for the two threads

One thing I do when taking pictures with longish exposure times is to set the timer for two seconds so you can press the button and have time to stop moving.
p.s. Great work on the spanner alsoLast edited by Stustoys; 1st May 2012 at 12:19 PM. Reason: p.s.

Your Woodworking Plane
Mike
I noticed your picture of a Beading or Plough Plane.
I am also a "Nutter" on the woodworking tools & frequently cross over from metal to wood. The variety is good.
Your photo prompted me to go & take a few photos of the Woodworking Planes.
The forum readers are wanting more photos
Although I have a number of WW Machines I do like using traditional hand tools.
Also included are photos of a an Australian Red Cedar cabinet I built with hand tools.
Regards
Bruce

Machined or not these would have me holding my breath. Backing pieces or making the draw front over size a side, I'd still likely knock the corner off gluing it up. I better stick to steel.

This one is for Bruce, If it was my own work, I'd be a bit uncomfortable to post it here, but since it's Josh's hand cut dovetails, I can feel comfortable.. (proud father syndrome!)

Beautiful work Ray. Handcut dovetails do have a great character.
I forgot to mention,the splayed edges on my cabinet were hand planed using the Lie Nielsen angled RT & LH skew angle rebate planes.(The bronze ones in the photo)
I got these when visiting the Lie Nielsen factory in Maine USA a couple of years back.
They are a delight to use.
Oh, & I also forgot to mention, this cabinet is all glued up using traditional hot Animal
Hide Glue, out of the heated gluepot.
I have tried most synthetic glues & they do have their place but on projects that I can assemble without too much haste the old time proven Animal glue seems to be very good. It does not "creep" over time like plastic glues.Its also stood the test of time. Anyway thats been my experience.

Bruce
