I love it when a project comes to a satisfactory end  ... now to making knife blades.

nooooo........no where near yet.............i have to drill and tap the bed to add the raiser to it....then i need to make the tilting cutting table....cant do any of that until the new belts come so i can place the raiser in the right position...........

 

as someone once said...."this is not the end....or the beginning of the end...............but the end of the beginning"..........

if it was all over in a few pages....then what would we all do /?

Now, I would have thought that a craftsman like you would have used an end-mill to square off that hole for the socket head

I dont possess end mills but when i altered my table i used allen bolts with countersunk heads, maybe thats all ditchman had in his stores.

You obviously drew the line through the hole after you drilled it. No one can drill on a line like that ?

really think that is funny..................take it to the next step...........

 

The British take over NASA under contract ...............

  1. all the space shuttels would be built like that
  2. lots of mastic
  3. control systems built by gud ole boi's in sheds across the UK
  4. if the shuttle was waiting to go up and the yank pilot saw a crack in one of the side windows.......they would send sum ole boi in a dirty brown coat ..pipe clutched in his mouth...ontop of a wooden ladder and mend the window with a black binbag and some gaffa tape...so mission control could acheive the lunch window....
  5. the space station kitchen would be full of pickled eggs...Branston pickle...lumps of cheese....old festering boxes of chicken birianyni.....paper plate of half eaten backed beans would be lodged in under the flight consul
  6. there would be stickers on the space station......STP...Duckams QT.....16w-40...Players No 6.. Watneys Red Barrell.and furry dice hanging in the pilots window
  7. engines made and supplied by Brocks fireworks

sorry my mind is wandering...............

Yeah, you're right - I usually make do with a blind drilled hole, but if I'm being a bit fancy, I pop an end mill in the drill press to square it off. 

I'm working towards setting up my Chinese lathe which does have a milling attachment - but I've got to clear space in the workshop first.

Joking aside, I am very much in awe of the craftsmanship that you do produce from your "ole shed"
