OD, height, starter hole and profile done. Need full bore dia. and threaded side hole then this part hits the tumbling barrel. Won't happen today, gotta start painting the rooms.

Nice easy 2 hours. 1"-40 TPI single cut. All that is left on the Elevation Adj. Tower is the lock screw. Time for second coffee.

The beginning of the decorative locking screw. 3/8-24 die cut threads. The head will be pressed on and be held fast with lock tite when done. This bolt will serve two purposes one, to lock the adj. and two, it will serve as a reference point in making the adjs. A small flat (1/4 wide full length ) must also be cut on the bearing holder for this unit to work properly.

Your thoughts please. This looks about right for the larger diameter of the handle. It is just a couple of bushings pushed over each other. The final piece will be brass and fluted lengthwise, not knurled. Pic #! is 3/4 inch, pic #2 is 5/8 inch. Which one?
