Haven't been able to do much given the injury to my hand but I managed to get a couple of things done today.
1. A friend wanted me to section a initiator for him. These are used to launch chaff countermeasures from aircraft, as well as sonar buoys. Not much to them:
2. The lifting rig that came with my lathe used an old seatbelt to lift the chuck on/off. I didn't like the way it had been done. An accident waiting to happen if you ask me. So, I modified the movable pulley and made up a hook similar to that made by Dave J:
3. Finally, I started on the frame for an outdoor vise, similar to the one made by Rob Wilson. Instead of using a round pipe for the centre, I used some box section. The reason being is that I have another size that fits nicely into this one. I intend to make up drop ins for a bench vise, pipe vise, bench grinder and anything else that I need to:
