I'm really enjoy your threads! Regards, Matthew |
| NormanV:
Thank you Steve and Matthew. Tomorrow I'll be working on the main spindle. Trouble is I don't have a piece of steel the right size so I will have to try to work out another solution. |
| NormanV:
The main spindle is done. I just made it from two pieces of steel bolted together. I may cut a keyway to engage with the worm wheel but it is quite a snug fit and may not be necessary. |
| NormanV:
I cast the table today, despite my misgivings I used charcoal again. This time it was much more successful, it only took an hour to complete the melt and used half as much charcoal. I had a stronger air blast and that seemed to do the trick. I've also machined it all over and it is now mounted on the spindle. |
