OK, this is all I can do today. My friends called from the airport and will be here in 30 minutes. I changed the diameter and threads at the back end. I dropped from 3/4-10 to 1/2-13. It is obvious that it looks better. It will also make threading the pulley easier. That big 3/4 inch jam nut was ugly. After the 25mmX1.5 threads are cut on the nose the shaft goes to heat treat. Then I grind the bearing diameters here.

Just ordered the Spindle book you recommend and 7 more. Abe books is a good place to get them just takes a while to get here.

Thank you everyone. It's 2:00 AM and all the guys are asleep. Long, wonderful day today. Time for me to bed down.

Had some time before everyone gets here this morning. That is the pulley blank.

Happy 68th Bill!!!

I too ordered that spindle book you recommended along with another in that series about heat treatment and hardening. $5.70 each shipped.

This is really a great project and a wonderful contribution to this site. I thank you for taking the time to keep us informed.

Where did you find them the best I could find was $8.88 each at Abe Books? I've got a few of the series coming I think about 10 total but if I can get some of the others cheaper!!

That sounds like a good price! EBay prices are between 10 and 25 dollars.
