Minnie TE Long term project
Joe d:
Some fairly slow progress, making studs for all the stuff that hangs on the cylinder....
Small stuff, so went to the Taig lathe. My version has the original Taig collets, a very small selection of sizes...
but, blanks are available so drilled one through the size of the studs, cut it by eye with a jeweler's saw...
Then a lot of threading, flip, thread some more and all done: both steam chests, and enough + a couple spare
for the cylinder covers...
They are all faintly over long, I'll trim them down to final size once i have the nuts (I've ordered some commercial ones, if I don't like how they look
then I'll have to make some...)

I've been a bad boy, Joe, doing more woodwork (bows) :wack:.
Joe d:
Nothing wrong with woodwork, Steve.
I've been spending the morning running some cherry through the planer...
got a pair of bookshelves to build.
