Timmeh's Workshop.

While I'm figuring that out, let's safe edge some tins. The ones with the rip tops that leave a nasty but relatively clean edge.
Lowest speed in back gear, guide the tail end by hand, ease in .005"-.010" at a time and let it do a couple of turns.
Not perfect, but what is left of any sharp edge is pointing up. If it's going to get you, better to happen on the way in than coming out.

Ferrule for the file handle done.
Make toe clamp. Don't have right sized drill, broken carbide tipped drill as boring bar, bit of shim in the Jacob's Chuck for offset.
Now to drill and tap the top slide of the x/y vise.

Set the height and level, square up to chuck face, lock it down.
Sidle one of the existing bolt holes up to a live centre, lock the cross slide and you're good to go.
Centre, drill and tap(by hand), unlock, repeat for second hole.
Done.

Roughly where I want put the vise.
Now to figure out how I'm going to mount it to get as much capacity as possible.
Could be a while on that one, got to finish reassembly, set the slides and screws, maybe some anti backlash mods and sort out the movable jaw/screw connection (it's a proper dog's breakfast on this one).
Then I've still got to fix the brewer's droop on the drill press table.

Another project I forgot to post before hiatus.
Peak period at work started early last year.
Part of a base for a lazy Susan(more kerbside gold). Had previously attempted drilling with various set-ups, could not get the required rigidity.
Open up with holesaw, shim boring bar in chuck in stages to reach size.

Here is where I came to a sudden stop right before the aforementioned hiatus kicked in.
Dressing a wood turning drive dog, got the front faces of the teeth done and faced the length.
Now have to clean up backside of the teeth.
Unplug, drive leadscrew by hand, closest change gear set-up I could get was 11.96(turns on screw):1(turn on spindle).
Need 12:1.
No compound means no easy in place adjustments.
But I bin workin' on it.
Now hafta do a bit of ninjitsu on a lawnmower, so need the lathe back.

A spot of bother controlling backlash, arms not long enough and jury rigged counterweight on chuck didn't work as theorised.
All in all, a little too iffy even for me.
Change of tack.

Turn the tool holder over, suitable diameter stone and a bit of graffiti to assist keeping track with indexing.
