Bogs, this is a great build so far. I appreciate you sharing your preparation with us. :thumbup: Watching with a learning interest. ironman (Ray) |

Good idea using the V-blocks, John. Sometimes these solutions are sitting right in front of me, and I don't see it. Again, good pics and descriptions. |

John, amazing first photos of squaring up the block. I learnt a hell of a lot!! Chris |

Thanks you gents, and I am glad I am showing a few things that help people along their way. I think I have found the right recipe of showing people how things are done. One or a couple of close up pics of the operation being done, plus a few words of text to explain it a little more. Well I hope I'm right, otherwise there will be a lot of confused people about the place. I've just been having a think about the tooling that has been used so far, and I think most home shops have most of them. Three cutters, one pair of paras, a pair of V blocks and an assortment of cheapo Chinese micrometers, of which, after using them for a couple of years, I have come to trust as much as my very expensive counterparts, in fact in some situations, they are more accurate, as they have a vernier that reads to tenths. They could almost be classed as disposable precision tools for the amount I paid for them. Just going out to the shop now, to see if I can get a little more done. Bogs |

Yeah thanks John, reading posts like this over the last few years are gradually teaching me how to do things properly in the workshop. I feel like I am either improving, or at least learning a new skill on every project I undertake now. Nick |
