Today I got started on the project of boring out some schedule 80 pipe to fit some 2 inch OD bronze bushings. There are six bushings to
be made for a light press fit. I used my home made steady rest as the pipe was too large to fit inside the hole in the lathe. So I got one
bronze installed and called that good enough for a Sunday. Here's a couple photos of the setup and of the pipes and bronze. Tomorrow I
will start on the rest. The parts are for a band saw sawmill, a work in progress for a neighbor and new friend.
edit: Actually my caption needs to read "Machining some pipe to fit some bronze bushings"
