Hi Stanley , looks like a good mornings work to me, I was just thinking once the shaper is up and running you will be wondering how you ever managed without the shaper and Mrs Mcmaster lol. I am looking forward to seeing the new tool cut a keyway, keep up the good work.
Cheers Mick

Hi Stanley, looks like you are getting the hang of the shaper and having fun too, glad to see a nice old bit of machinery getting used again.
I wonder what you will decide now you have the drawings from John.
Cheers Mick

Hi Stanley , looks like a cracking job to me :grin: the whole thing has turned out very nice indeed. I dont think you have mentioned what you intend to do with them ?

Hi Stanley , I remember seeing things about cutting bottles on Youtube, which is very similar to what you want I think they were scored then hot and cold used to make it crack along the score.

Hi Stanley, by god you have been a busy lad :grin: , looks like you have found another worthy project to keep you busy anyway and coming on well too.

Hi Stanley, looks like you have a nice drill sharpening jig there with sheds you never seem to find a situation when there This project looks like time well spent to me.

Looking Good Stanley, the flywheel has come out lovely. It will be interesting to see how your cast experiment turns out too, how long do you think it will take to set ?

Hi Stanley , good to see you are back in the shed and getting more useful jobs done, I will have to make a set of adaptors for my Clarkson too as well as a few other bits and bobs for it.

Hi Stanley, glad to hear the chuck turned up ok and you are happy with it :grin: , glad to be able to help you out.

Hi Stanley , I have not been on the computer for a few days but glad to see you have been keeping busy, looks like the simple solution worked best for the indexing in the end.
