Nice Job on the draw bar hammer Mate .. Im using an ole broken brass hammer I made in HS shop class and a small braker bar wrench with a socket . looks almost exactly same but u have a nice 2-1 tool. didn't do do much today but that's ok . Had some nice shop time on my new mill with my son that has Autism . Got a $400+ band saw today for $75 ..but that's nothing compared to the gift I had with my boy. if ya don't mind like to share ....
Shop time on fathers day with my son. Best gift I I can ask for . The memory will last forever. First I taught my son some principles of hand tools, the care of instruments . Learning to install collets in machine , using a draw bar wrench and spindle wrench. Sizing tooling by fractional numbers. Converting over to decimal equivalents. Care of instruments basic machine, tool safely, set up and calculating RPM. He took his first cut and broke in new machine by feeding .400 thousands 4 turns on the dial to engrave the letter T on the tighten side of spindle tool.
Here is my son Joel Tramming the head, Organizing collects by fractional size, (Using chart ) learning fractions to decimal. Using chart to identify the size on his own. He got it .
Next he is indicating in vice for first mill set up on the machine. He learned to get the vice parallel within two thousandths of an inch .002 than he learned to tap in high side half total distance and get it zeroed. In . After that he torqued the bolts He said spot on In a British accent . I got a vintage indicator of e bay that is made in England and its named Spot on . What a day . The one an only gift that I received but it was Priceless . Next we set up for next project drilling and tapping but he lost interest so I fig id call it a wrap save for next time .
