What Did You Do Today 2025

Thanks very much, both – I mirrored the moulding above and below the middle bead and it was a bit of a b****r figuring out the depth & infeed for the fly cutter I used for the elliptical moulding – it’s a bit more bull-nosed than I’d like but it’ll come right after priming and sanding; lesson learnt – next fly-cutting form tool will have a more distinct ‘datum’ that can set to a known radius before we start.

I made a taller copy of my Pultra P type tool rest for my recently purchased Pultra 17/70,I used an original base to save me having to mill a T slot but everything else is shop made including the flip over part, not a perfect copy but close enough for me.

Looks like you had a very satisfactory outcome there, Dell.

whippet con rod finished tonight lots of little set ups with very little machining and seems to fit the crank ok, time will tell!

After moving almost the entire workshop about 2000 km west half a year ago, I still had the feeling that I had lost something. It seems that I was right. Today I found two lost boxes with all kinds of tools. Including my collection of small abrasive stones. It’s interesting to rediscover things that you forgot you had.
