Well not a tantrum but I wanted the alliteration
So I rise early, the temperature has warmed up so I can work in my barely heated garage. I set up to measure the toolpost slot, the toolpost blank and all is good.
I set out to cut to width using a hacksaw. 6,318 strokes later it’s cut to width.
Next task is to mark the cutout to fit the ‘T’. One side all marked. 5,189 strokes later (new blade you see) and one side is cut.
Next up, mark the other side. Measure, mark, carefully snug it in my vice and cut.
Dang it! I cut the wrong side!!!
A short period of self-loathing occurs.
Deep breath, how to rectify this?
Hello Mr MIG!
So I lay down some molten metal, walk over to the grinder and carve away much of the fresh metal.
Time to break out the files. File, file, file, sneaking up on a nice fit.
Sigh. No pics but I’ll add some.
