some good ideas here

look on instructables loads of ideas.

one is a clock

i regularly turn it on the myford at the club.

never had a prob.

got start made on making jig for putting slits in ml6 collets rather than slitting disc in grinder.

drawing is very rough idea and will change as i start.

had couple of jobs where i needed rotary table that i have had to ask someone at club to do for me.

i don't have milling machine at min ( or workshop ) but do have 5.5" lathe chuck mounted to steel plate that easily fits on both my drill press and one at club.

planning on getting rt so i can do the bits myself and planning on good size milling machine when i get workshop sorted.

question is what size 4 or 6 inch?

plan is to use extra money at end month to get tooling ready for when i move.

must admit only had half dozen call all very pleasant and well mannered.

couple of teenage girls turned up after little ones had been and in costumes said trick or treat please and thank you after.

don't mind older kids if polite and at least made effort.

thought trick or treat was for kids?

so far had 6 teenagers in normal clothes knock asking for sweets?

all at least 15 .

get mouth full of abuse when i said no.

it is simply going to be a learning project to learn new skills.

once i can rest of bits out of storage will list what i have for it.

just realised i forgot pic

have bits from old lathe of unknown origin that were getting binned at club due to damage.

bed isn't damaged just rusty one of housings that hold spindle is broken off.

got few other bits like leadscrew and pair of flat belt pulley's with it.

also got mt1 tailstock for it.

thinking long term here as no workshop at min but plan is to machine of housings and make new ones and build from there.

worth doing?

any suggestions or ideas welcome.

i get loads of use from my 14mm spanner.

also got a bit of kit with m8 bolts that used 12,13 and 14 mm spanners.

also got a 75mm spanner.

not sure where to put this so trying here.
just seen an instructable on making rings from meteorite ( **LINK** .
looks like he is using normal tipped tool for turning it.
my daughter saw it and wants to make herself a ring out of some slices of stone she has not sure what it is.
how to do it?
same way as in video?
made rings out of metal before so know basics just never out of stone.
cheers

try arc euro they list them.

am getting their tilt and slide one end of nov.

ok cheers for that.

i do like that idea easier to look for certain bits,

will tha qctp arc sell for the c6 lathe fit ok on myford super 7?

the club i belong to have only got 2 holders for their qctp and as i aren't using my c6 one as no workshop at min was going to take it over to use for some bits i have to make.

ta

rebuilt a few series in my time.

love them.

would love another s3 ambulance.

6 of the chucks are 16mm capacity

mate turned up today asking if the box he had ( contents in pic below) was worth an hr of my time checking over a s2 landy he was buying.

lot of chucks are on mt2 with mt3 sleeves fitted and some mt1-2 adaptors.

got all the chuck keys and it appears to only be surface rust.

so was it worth an hour looking rd one of my favourite vehicles?

hell yes
