Ok, I finally have the finger plate "almost" complete. By almost I mean I still need to knurl the knobs. But that's another project all together.
Now as I said in the Logan Lathe thread in the The Water Cooler. I was stopped short because I couldn't single point a thread do to lathe problems. Here's the thread in case your interested: http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=2861.0
Anyway here's what Guy's "finger plate" looks like.

Here I've finished the 5/16-18 thread and am checking to see if the lock down nut fits. Perfect fit.

Here are all the parts that make up the finger plate as I did it.

Here are all the parts assembled ready for use.

And here it is in use drilling a hole in a round part.

That's it. Questions will be answered if you have any. :wave:
Another useful tool finally done. Now on to the next project. I've discovered if I don't mention what my next project is I will be more likely to work on it and get it done. :ddb:

That's a very nice finger plate Bernd, much nicer than the couple of rough and ready ones I have knocked together in the past. You will find it very useful. :thumbup:

Nicely done Bernd. That will be a handy little tool to have around. :ddb: :ddb:
Now I have to wonder is he going to finish up one of the other projects or has he got a new project in mind. :doh: I guess time will tell. :coffee:
Cheers :beer:

Tel,
Thanks. It should come in handy for those small model railroading jobs.
Don,
Thanks.

No way your going to get that one out of me. :lol: Just remember kitchen cabinets take top priority. :lol:

Nice work Bernd. One of the things that is on my list... if work ever lets me breathe!

That turned out quite nice, Bernd. A handy fixture I've had on my list for, (good grief), about ten years!

Very nice!
Little fixtures like that one are indispensible for working with small parts.
Cheers,

Thanks guys.
Believe it or not I'm working on a few more. Don't know where this burst of :proj: came from, but I hope it stays awhile.

Bernd,I picked up the very same thing at a "bring 'n buy"at our club.It's a very useful item for holding small parts to be worked on.
