My brother popped in a couple of weeks ago to get some tires mounted to his new motorcycle wheels. He hasn’t been over since I started destroying metal…,…,…or, I mean attempting to machine stuff. I showed him a few things that I had made & he liked this little tap wrench I made. So I asked if he wanted one, he was like “hell yeah!”. I told him I’d make it plenty bigger than the one he had in his hand (he’s an iron worker).
So I’ve been working on it here and there when I’ve had time to do so. I’m getting close to finished & I’m pretty happy with how this thing is coming out. I just wanted to share some pictures of my work.
I do still have to mill a slot into the threaded portion of the body, cross drill the plunger, make a pin on the lathe & press it together. Oh, and buy a spring for it.
