I've been kept largely out of the workshop today - it's my birthday and apparently I have to be entertained. This morning I was taken by my eldest boy to look round 'Eastbourne Redoubt' built around 1807 as one of a series of forts to stop the French being too adventurous with their cross channel trips. Very interesting, but sadly most of the original cannons were melted down in WW2 when we were desperate for the metal to keep another foreign adventurer off our shores ! However I did manage to escape for half an hour and cobbled together a slide hammer from the jaws of a bearing puller, with a length of 12 mm studding projecting back as the slide, with a length of very heavy section cored rod as the hammer. |

So now I need to hunt out a large bit of steel to make a replacement with a different profile so that the sensing happens in reverse to this one. I need a billet to produce a 108 mm diameter by 32 mm if you have one in your pocket :ddb: I could turn down the original, but I will retain it with the collet closer in case I need to refit that chucking arrangement at any time in the future |
