I first saw this tool in post #845 of the (Project of the day / what did you do in your shop today)http://www.hobby-machinist.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=63748&d=1383509051. This was posted by Andy Wander. I new when I first saw it that it would be a great little Christmas gift for the men in my family as most of us work with our hands & we're constantly trying to get the most out of what ever resources that we have close at hand. I decided that I would make about 20 tools & that should be enough to meet the needs of my immediate family & have a few left over for any unexpected guest.The challenge would be to finish before our family get together & to set up each machining step in a way that I could duplicate each step 20 times.
Along with Nelson's recent request for more projects,I decided to try to take pictures & post the progress along the way.
The first step is to rough cut the all thread & the tool body to length. The 2nd step is to set up the mill & bring the rough cut lengths to the print specs. That's all for tonight.
