Ball turning tutorial?

<< < (7/7)

Nowicki:
I finally got back to it a little. Decided to mount ti to the base of the plunge. It works better that way. I haven't made the handle yet but it is on the menu for when I get back from vacation.

George Greer:
Ralph,

That vid was a great tutoral...now I see how they work.

Now, when my mill finally gets here and I get it set up...I'll be making one of these....

Thanks, George :nrocks:

Happy you found it of some use George. That's why I made all of the turning vid's. To show and help people  :)


We will I'm sure all look forward to a few pic'c of the build and use of your version  :thumbup:



Now then, how long do vacations last over there? Larry.... What's the result?   :poke:  How many footballs (rugby for us guys)  have you made?  :lol:  I made a good 4-5 before I figured out how to set it up correctly!

Nowicki:
I got real sick when I got back. They put me on a real strong antibiotic. 8 days in I developed an allergic reaction to it and started into shock. Was put on steroids and antihistamines... lost 13 lbs in 3 days. I wanted to loose some weight but don't recommend this way to anybody.
I'm on the mend but things are real busy at the farm so I haven't had much time to work in the shop. I did get a little ahead of myself. Didn't wait to drill and tap the handle, just used a pair of vicegrips. I turned a round on the end of a 1 1/4 " piece of scrap 4140. The grips hit the stock so I couldn't do the full ball. It is going to take a couple tries but this is going to work great.

Sounds like you've been having a blast!!!  :bugeye:


All on the mend now though, good stuff :thumbup:


Looks like you've got it working.  When you get back to it I'm sure you'll share the pic's. Top result so far  :clap:




Ralph.
