| J Harp:
:clap:Thanks for the education John. I missed the start of this build, so have read it thru in a few evenings. As with all your projects shown here it is beautiful work, beautifully presented. A question or two, in reply 137, what is the device attached to the scale, and could you show an altogether picture of it? I don't think I've seen one before. Thank You. Jim |

Jim, The only thing I can notice that you are on about are my very small spring dividers (donated to me last year by another member, and very nice they are too), and if you look at post 144, 5th piccy down, it shows them in full view. Next to the RDG special freebie 6" rule, they give you an extra inch just in case you lose one at sometime. Sorry about that, as I usually try to show the major hand tools I used in each shot, but sometimes they would overwhealm what I was trying to show, so you only get a partial shot of them. I'm glad you are enjoying the build. John |
| J Harp:
The tool I was asking about is in the shot where you were measuring to decide what to do with the rod. It's a rule or maybe a depth gage with a sliding member ending in a sort of hooked pointer which is indicating about 1 and 41/64". I'm just curious, I don't recall ever seeing one like that, and wondered what it was. Your swing up threading tool is near the top of my to do list when I get a mill. That's a first class design. |
| Bernd:
Jim, My curiosity got the best of me and I went back to look at what you are describing. Are you talking about the second pic in reply #137? If so I believe what you think is a depth gage is actually part of the engine. Just a guess. Trying to help out Bog's. Hope you don't mind. Bernd |
| Bogstandard:
Jim, Bernd is correct, the bit behind the rule is actually the crank disc, and yes, the hole in it is supposed to be that close to the edge. I was rough measuring from near the end of the cylinder to the centre of that hole. John |
