Very nice Rob, a good demonstration of using the horizontal mill .... I'd love to have one of those :ddb: |

You made nice work of that, Rob. You and your out of date machines.. : ) Nice show with the horizontal miller. A power hack saw would be just lovely. I keep my eye out for one all the time. Someday, I'll hit the jackpot. Until then, my right arm will keep getting bigger than the left. That con rod looks great, too. Thanks for all the pics. Dean |

Tyanks guys, careful with the out of date stuff...im only a pup...still 20 years away from retiring (I hope)...thanks for the comments gusy I hope your enjoying watching as much as I am doing..... Ive been blessed the last few days with fairly good time in the shop. As a result Ive actually got something done.... its nice to have something to show you guys. The crank cheeks are just about finished.... heres the rest of the journey... Back into the mill after lunch and tidied up the horizontal mill cuts. Just blended them into the previously drilled holes really... then into the old power hacksaw and cut off the four segments.... Made a mandrel with a spgot the internal size of the cheeks, tapped a retaining bolt and away we go, firstly in to the mill to do the reliefs... Then changed to the big end hole to do the round off... Its starting to look like its coming together.... Im in my regular work away from home period shortly so not much will happen for a couple of weeks. Cheers Rob |
