Much prefer the more friendlier North Easterners from Gateshead or Newcastle.....or even Sunderland..... :) I best go into hiding now....else the Hull mafia might come after me.... --- End quote --- What about your home county... Teesside... 'Smoggieland' or is that only where your inlaws live?... :wave: George. |

So many interruptions today -- machined the outside of the base all over, gotta add some slots and things to fit the push peg for setover, the gib, the through bolt, and tap and thread the adjuster. Got a meeting at 5, so probably not today.... --- End quote --- Out of curiosity, and speaking as an absolute ignoramus as far as casting is concerned, why didn't you include the slots in the initial pattern? Even assuming that you left space for final machining, wouldn't that have saved some time and wear and tear on your body/tools? I'm enjoying this thread, keep up the good work. Josh |
