Bill,

How are the bolsters for the locking screws attached? They seemed to just magically appear with no mention of how.:thinking:

Ok Bill, that makes sense. Hopefully the welding won't warp your parts too much but I guess you could always run a reamer thru to make them round again.

Glad I'm not the only one who sneaks into the shop between chores and "duties". :)

It's a beautiful thing when a plan comes together :biggrin:
 
Re: In search of a good Steady Rest

Sorry to hear about the setback - look at it as just another bump in the road to success ;)
 
Re: In search of a good Steady Rest

I went to the welder to pick up the sleeves and he ruined all three.
That's why I took welding classes at the local community college. Got only myself to blame for screwups, less frustrating. :lmao:
