Brian, just wondering, do you wear a "Head Magnifyer" while doing this work?

Pic's of the lenses, that I use on the bench and the lathe.

And lots of light.

Brian.

Ya, lots of light! I know I now need that, even for bigger things.

The first trial of a pair of gears in the plates.

It starts to look like a clock ??

Looking good Brian. How many hours do you think this represents so far?

Hi Mayhem.
I am tempted to say " To Many " but I really have no idea.
More time has been spent on recording the work and doing the drawings, (and learning CAD at the same time).

I just hope it will help a few people to get started on a worthwhile project, at little cost,instead of wishing for the next costly tool that someone says you "Must have"

Brian.

I don't track the hours on my projects either. If I knew how much time I spent on them, then it's possible that my wife could find out.

Wow, very nice Brian.

Tom - the secret is to log the hours under the heading "time I spent thinking about my wife today/this week/this month" (adjust based on hours).

3rd arbor in place, thats the power train finished.
