Yer 'tis then. This years quota of swarf has started with a vengance :ddb: started machining up the parts for the little pump I got from southworth engines. Family group shot. Finished Columns. Going old school with a 'sticky pin' setting up on the rotary table, Now just about to start milling up the pump base. not happy with all those new fangled doo-hickeys. I wont bore you all, all in one go, so here's a link to my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/techno-ludite/sets/72157624037389809/ with the rest of them. The next post I shall try and include a few more of the ones that I forgot to get pics of. TTFN |

Looks like your having fun :headbang: Sticky pin eh? I'm obviously not old.... erm, school enough to know this one :scratch: I don't know about this castings stuff.... I would have thought you could make those bits from bar stock? Then again you'd need the plans I suppose? Still looks good :thumbup: Ralph. |

I'd liked to appologise for using profanities on this site. Swarf production was stopped last week due to a really horrible case of 'man flu', these head colds can knock you sideways when you least expect it and there is no mrs ludite to mop my fevered brow when I do come down with the lurgy, and wouldn't know it those buggers at ( profanity alert ) work :whip: needed me to do something or another :coffee: . But here is the latest offerings to the god of swarf production :bow: , Undercutting the pump valve. Group shot #2 Pump valve drg. One of the pump unions. Cylinder bottom finished milling. And the rest are on my flickr page, http://www.flickr.com/photos/techno-ludite/sets/72157624037389809/ as usual TL Hmm it looks as though I've made a bit of a balls up on the pump valve machining, oh well back in the lathe it goe's again tomorrow night. |

Techno. Must be a great feeling being back on deck!. Its looking good. Divided… sticky pin= chewing gum or plummers putty stuck on the end of your collet holder or chuck with a needle or any sharp pointed pin placed in it , turn the spindle on and slightly hold the revolving pin between two fingers and get pin to revolve true just like a wobbler stick center finder only this set up is only worth about 5 cents works every time. Keep up the good work brother.. Anthony. |
