I made some more progress in cleaning up the dividing head that I got from Pete. I removed the spindle to check why the lock isn't working and I think the guy that Pete got this from may have stored it in a lake. The inside had a unique odour and was pretty manky. The free degreaser I got came in handy
Spindle out - I need to make a wrench to remove the nut and then I can strip and clean it. I need to replace the bolts that hold the chuck on.
I think I know why the spindle lock isn't working. The brown stuff appears to be a mixture of old oil and grease but there is a fair bit of moisture in there. Smells like a manky pond.
Mmmmmm...
All cleaned up.
Now I can actually see what I have to make. If only it was as easy to make as it was to draw...
