Hi Chaps
I decided this year to try and get all of my unfinished project out off the way before i start any more
,, so i thought i would start with this one ,, as i started it just over a year ago
,,, Well my plan did not last long ,, all off five minutes
,, i decided to make the spindle ,,so i centred a length of 7/8 S/S bar ,cut a start and run out groove for the threading tool ,,, then went to set up the lathe for 16DP ,,,,,,,,,,,
no can do ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, need a different gear quadrant
, so i made one
Gets that all sorted
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, then spent two hours looking for my swan neck tool holder ,,,,,,,
no idea whats happened to it
So made another
Great now i can get going
soi made a start on cutting the worm
Then just as i am nearly finished ,, just as the tool is leaving the end of the worm ,,,,,,,,,,,, crunch
oooooooops ,,,, stripped two teeth on the tumbler gears
Luck no damage to the worm ,,,,,,,,, so tomorrow night i will have to make a couple more gears
