My hour in the shop is done. War Dept. watches close. Got gib blank done, made from an old gear. Also the adjuster is blanked in and just needs to be drilled and tapped 6-40. I get 2 more hours after 4:00 PM today. The flu is almost gone.

Inspirational Bill! I even searched for the .pdf of the original plans so I could add it to my "future projects" list - http://www.deansphotographica.com/machining/projects/mill/boring/boringhead.pdf.

It's very neat watching this one come together.

Thanks,

Yep -- Those are the prints I have, I only changed the mounting thread so far. The show a 3/4-16 and I went to a 1/2-20. I want to make a smaller one if this one works out. Maybe 1 inch in diameter isstead of 1.5 inch diameter.

Nice work Bill,

....Sorry about the clarity but the flash on brass is hard to control.

If you cant/dont want to take the pic in manual mode, just try holding a piece of wax paper in front of the flash.

Cheers Phil

Bill, You are a machining genius! Tell your wife I said that and you need more than an hour in the shop because we need the instruction.

Thank you, I have been called a lot of things but never a "Genius"
