Thanks Don! Grass? Don I think sheep -- not an animal husbandry type, but I think goats eat brush...... So does a Deere :lol:. Today's attack on metal object: Holes all tapped, in fact one too many -- that central one needed to be drilled out to 3/8 to fit the lead nut: |

Then it was time to start milling the slots: |

Slots all done: |

Skimmed it all with the homemade carbide fly mill, and set it up on the lathe to see how it all looked. The nut I have to duplicate (from the lathe's cross slide) with a little modification to suit the height of the boring table is sitting on the back. You can also see a T-nut being tried in one of the slots. It fits really nicely. Another good day. |
