My First Project
#1
This past weekend I did my first project. All I have been doing since late Sept is putting random pieces of metal into my lathe and making chips. 
I was happy once I had an actual project. I bought my lathe used. The previous owner had the cross slide nuts way to tight. The one was at the point it stripped the threads off the T Bolt when I tried to loosen it. So I decided to make a set of T Nuts to fit into the slots and install bolts from the top. 
I know for most guys making a set of T Nuts is a real fast and boring job. But for me it was 3.5 hours of Fun. I’m extremely happy with the way they turned out, plus I got to use my mill for the first time and make a mess!! 
The material I used was 3/4” cold roll key stock. I’m not sure what that metal actually is. Am I correct at thinking it would be 1018?
