I caught the plague last week so productivity took a bit of a dive. Feeling better this weekend, I managed to put a few hours in on the drilling rig for the Steven's. This is the guide plate used to start the gun drill on center in the end of the barrel. It consists of a plate attached to the ways of the lathe with a drill guide bushing mounted in a hub with a bit of adjustment built in to allow the bushing to be precisely centered on the spindle.

The next step is to make a chip box that attaches to the plate to catch the chip laden cutting oil as it sprays out the end of the barrel during the drilling procedure. It'll just be a simple sheet metal box with some sort of rubber seal on the holes where the drill passes through, and a drain out the bottom.

No, no squirrel bites Darren. In fact, I haven't seen many of the little buggers around lately. I suspect they may be tending to their nuts this time of year. Unlike where you are, winter is fast approaching around here. It was 30Fº (-1.1111111C) this morning and I had to scrape heavy frost off my windshield (windscreen).

Yes, but you guys are getting closer to the sun, while we are tipping farther away. I test fired the furnace yesterday to make sure it was up to snuff before the bottom falls out of the thermometer. Bleh
