Great job Mr. Lee. Gave me a good project to try for my little mill. I do need some mill jacks. I hope you are weathering Hurricane Florence well. We are getting smacked pretty hard where I am in NC.
Those are a very handy size and style - I have a few very old ones that use similar principle but rather need to make smaller ones like you did. Those came out beautiful and the blackening was super. Nice job Lee.
Thanks Lee! I was just recently contemplating making some jacks. I'll check out Amazon for the leveling pads to see how that stacks up against making them. I appreciate all your videos. Keep up the good work.
funny....this build is still on my list....Nice build and I like the idea of using the leveling feet....suggestion...make some of the stack blocks from Tom’s Techniques
Lee Only thing I would suggest is mill a 45degree slot across the tip to self level/adjust for round stock. I know my Starrett jacks came that way John
I like the way you work and the way you talk as I'm learning a lot from you that I can't learn ells were. And could you tell me what the name of your Lathe is please.
Safety note: Never stick you finger(s) inside rotating work to sand or polish... a good way to get the ends of you fingers ripped off. Use a wood dowel with a slot in the end to hold the abrasive paper or something like a Popsicle stick to press the Scotch Brite against the surface to polish. The jacks are nice. You can easily make riser blocks to raise the jack to the needed height like the Starrett made jacks.
You make a real good point there about sanding, a man where I was working got his fingers broken and a finger nail taken off by a strip of emery cloth.
Thanks Lee, that was great. How did you learn to heat the blue treatment? That hadn't dawned on me yet, most instructions & demos do it "cold", but now that you showed it, it's a great thing for the color, I'm going to check that out! Sincerely, Mike.
Michael Kaplan thanks for stopping by. Here is a link to Part 1 of a 2 part series Marc did on heat treating metal. Of course he has much better control of the temperature in his oven than I do in the kiln, but for general bluing, the kiln works fine. th-cam.com/video/hw4Rl0uG7ok/w-d-xo.html
Hey lee, nice work good buddy. I have a question not related to the work performed. Do you like your mill? Been looking at Precision Matthews machines and was wondering what your experience has been. Keep on being a bad a$$!! Thanks, Neal.
Why not just take the ones you have and shorten the base. Due to you saying they were to tall for your mill. Just a though , a way of using the ones you already have.

The hot bluing turned out great! Nicely done! 👍😁👍
Cheers!

Very nice build, well presented. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet little jacks, I need to make some. Nice video. Like your style. 👍
I've made many mill jacks, but never though of using a leveling pad. Awesome idea that I'll be using in the future.
Those are a very handy size and style - I have a few very old ones that use similar principle but rather need to make smaller ones like you did.

Lee, your vids are always informative. Thx.
Came out real nice Lee, another successful session in the tin barn, cheers!
Nice useful project and turned out great.
These look great, Lee. Hope you are doing alright with the storm...
Very handy and great appearance. I like the way you blue your stuff.

Really nice Lee! That kiln sure put a nice finish on those :)

Nice ending colour. Didn't think they would turn out that close of a match to the levelling pads. Nice job!
McMaster-Carr also carries the swivel leveling pads, Amazon only sells that size pad to prime members. eBay has them but they are more expensive
Thanks for the 411
a nice simple project not sey or complicated but very useful now on my To Do List, after the lathe is finished off
Why didnt you link the pads from amazon? Make it easier on everyone.
I like the way you work and the way you talk as I'm learning a lot from you that I can't learn ells were. And could you tell me what the name of your Lathe is please.
Thanks - my lathe & mill are both Precision Matthews. www.precisionmatthews.com/shop/pm-1127vf-lb/
G Day Lee, Yep project list on my phone here too. Jack stands came out well.
Good stuff Lee. Thanks for the video.

Hi, Lee. Could you tell me what the Name of these Pads are that you put into Amazon? Thank you
Hi LeeIt looks like you have some kind of turret attachment on your lathe. Is that something you purchased or made?Thanks Brian
Hey Lee, Nice work as always, really enjoy your projects. Could you tell me what Kiln your using.
Thanks for the vid! Question....I thought when you were knurling you were forming not cutting?
Great looking mill jacks there buddy if I may ask why did you cut in raverse when you turned the taper.
Enjoyed Lee!
ATB, Robin

Did you ever show you lifting trolly? I really want to make something like that for my shop
Check out this video. th-cam.com/video/DjuwHFn_01A/w-d-xo.html Thanks for stopping by.
Nice job Lee👌

You better button down the tin barn. Florence is coming.
Good video.
Awesome!
Lee what was that multiple tail stock ??
Search eBay for tailstock turret - several examples there. Thanks for stopping by.
я ожидал увидеть, как будут изготавливаться головки подвижные, а не корпус
The type of knurling you are performing is not a "cutting" operation, but forming operation...
Why not just take the ones you have and shorten the base. Due to you saying they were to tall for your mill. Just a though , a way of using the ones you already have.
