Happy days, I'm looking forward to seeing this progress
Thank you, me too
Excellent start to the project Mark. I think it was a good idea to machine these parts from a single piece of metal. Much stronger than joining parts together. That huge lump of steel was a great gift. Cheers Nobby
Thank Nobby 👍👍TTFN Mark
Nice work and nice mods to original design. Enjoyed very much, cheers and thanks!
Thank you
I can't wait for the next!
Should be next week 🤞
Good call on using solid piece of steel instead of the screw on parts, all that would definitely be flexing under a load, your way is way more sturdy!
Thank you 👍
Something like this ball turner is on my short list.
It was on mine too 😂
Nice work. I agree with your one piece alterations, it will make a lot more sturdy tool. Looking forward to you cutting the dove tails, my first attempt was a disaster😁
So was mine 😂
I do love the Hemingway kits but it does make you think to just have the drawing !! nice work
Thanks, I do like to figure it out and do it my way 😂 😂 I do find a lot of their instructions are very old methods. I spend most of my time converting fractions to decimal and mm 😂
@@EnglishHobbyMachinist imperial/metric there are just numbers. But some do struggle coming away from fractions
Glad you found a use for it😂😅
👍🏻
Thank you
Very nice work sir. Something I still need to make.
Thank you 👍
Good start! Interesting move making the dovetails in one piece. A lot more rigid, but you’ll have to be spot on with machining the second dovetail. I’ve nearly finished their quick change tool post and the notes for cutting the dovetails to size described a very weird method. I used the two dowels method which worked great.
I won’t rely on measurements, I will be able to trial fit the slide into the head as I machine it 🤞 if I goof it up! I will make a small gib 😂thanks Mark
Great video
Thank you 👍
