Machinist jacks

Well here they are. Mostly finished. I would like to make some parts that will fit into the top that have a point on them to go in a hole. Also haven't decided whether to mill a slot across them or make a piece that sets on top.
Aliva, I will probably drill some holes around the knurled cap.
One thing I did after cleaning everything up was to use some lapping compound on the threads. A couple of them weren't really smooth along the full length, so a few spins and they really fell better.
I have about $25 in materials and a few hours on the lathe.
With every project I do it seems like there is a jig or tool that would make it a little easier to do.

Very nicely done. Just made some of these out of heat treated 4140. It is fairly hard material but finishes very nice. Beautiful work sir!

I just bookmarked this link. Add it to my growing pile of projects. Thanks!
 
I am always impressed with those little "extras" that enhance the appearance of a project like this. The taper on these makes me want to learn to have more patience and spend a little more time with my own projects. Nice work ... :encourage:
