Got all the bolts in the saw and cut a test part 2” tall and it’s within a few thousands so in my eyes that great. I need to adjust the angle but that’s for another day.

Also got a brand new starter blade to put in the saw.

I did not document it but in the past I rebuilt the hydraulic cylinder and put all new lines

That’s the new shaft I had to make for the hydraulic cylinder.

I Had a bit of scrap flat 8mm aluminium and a 14mm single hex socket
so I made a shorter vice hande for the mill vice.
I can open and close the vice with one finger and the handle doesn't hit the Y Axis handle.

I made a new knob for the tailstock on my SB Heavy 10. The original was missing when I got it. I matched the knob on the carriage wheel as best I could.

 

[Just for fun]

Good job, that looks really nice!

Thanks Jeff, this is pretty much what I did the bulk of it with.
I only realized what can be done freehand after watching that amazing craftsman Chris over on Clickspring.

I finished my Harold Hall simple grinding rest. Gave it a quick test regrinding a threading tool it worked well. Have to make a few more of the accessories, but it’s been a fun project.

I'm doing an out of frame overhaul on a John Deere tractor. I had to make another adapter plate for my homemade stand. After I did that, I needed to make a sleeve puller. I've borrowed my uncle's tool too many times to not have my own. Everything worked like a charm and now waiting on the machine shop.
