That spindle is moving. That is one of two Pillar Bushings being cut. I love it when a plan comes together.

Ballantine Beer. As a kid, I used to run to the grocery store and pick it up for my Ukrainian grandfather all the time (and take some from the large bottles he bought)

Congrats on the POTM Bill. I have not read it all but it is very interesting and well presented in what I have read so far. Thanks for the great contribution.

Picture #1 is the screw-up. The one on the left has the dovetail started but notice the flange. It is almost gone. Dovetail cutters cut on all edges.

Picture #2 is the catch up. We are ready to dovetail again. 2 hours lost and a lesson learned one more time. Always check the machine before you start. It will save you time. money and embarassment. Not necessarilly in that order. :lmao:

Been there.

I was once told by an old man, that

"Experiance, is something you get about 10 seconds after you need it."

BTW old man is a relative term. The "Old Man" was I think younger than I am.
Getting old kinda sucks


The boring head looks great!!

Keep up the good work Bill,

Thank you all. It is a great honor having the Boring Head named Project of the Month. ------ "Billy G"
 
Congratulations Bill! Well deserved POTM award! I really enjoyed this and look forward to building one myself sometime. Thanks for the effort to post it.
