I'd hope for the half that made the parts. Not the half that tied up the spindle! :rofl:

Yes, he does a good job!
 
There was no choice when it came to stopping the spindle being made. I had to change the height of the work head to accommodate the 5C collet. It was raised 1/2 inch. If the spindle were done first I would have lost almost 1 inch of height adjustment. This would mean I would have had to do it twice. I'm glad I caught it when I did. Sorry about that.

Yes Dan, I know you were kidding, but I wanted all of you to know what happened. I try to cover all the bases for the new people. As for you Shayne, you do have the talent, everyone does, it just hidden right now.

Well if I have that talent, it must be hidden deep under a thick layer of something. Things are getting better though.
Great project, can't wait to see it complete.

You won't see it when it happens. It just appears when you reach a different level. The ones that see it are your peers. It will always get better.

Marcel --- This is how the numbers will be added. They will be in perfect alignment. I built this one in my sleep. :rofl::rofl:

At this point the Work Head is complete. It will be buffed out at final assembly. Time to get everything together for the Wheel Hear and assembly. The new people may be wondering about how the Division Wheel is graduated. It does not go from 0-360. It is divided into quadrants, 0-0. This is because you work in quadrants, 0-45-0. That's 0 + or - 45 degrees.

That is some beautiful work Mr. Gruby. I hope to have a fraction of your knowledge and talent one of these days. Ive been around machining for years, but only recently decided to delve in myself. I dont even have my lathe yet, and am already addicted.Thanks for showing your work and I cant wait to see the finished product.
