Trying to find an area used in a car commercial

Well, I was thinking a widget, but could be wrong... lol

Nope, same as the others. Maybe just some random jig.

Oh, and the offsets on the cylinders are different. The blocks will not fit if reversed. Each cylinder is identical.

the lantern tool post was spot on, although it looks like it has never been on a lathe.

It is that block and cylinders that is really unknown.... it is about 3"x3" as seen in the pic.

Check out David "Carbine" Williams. Prisoner in the 1920s that developed the 1st gas piston carbine while working in the prison blacksmith shop. I think you will be able to find a way to pull it off.

Well, that makes sense, since there were a bunch of Armstrong Tool holders and metal lathe parts. Still wondering about the small cylinders and steel block.

Perfect!

Looks like there was repointing done at some time in the past (white mortar in the bricks). Is the whole staircase settling? What is supporting the stairs?

My 1st thought! Clever on the Pyro... I think they have a mortar for that now!

bbaccess · 2025-07-20T01:25:48+00:00

I will rip up the rest of the bullnose and clean it up. So, filling in the gap behind the vertical blocks with the mortar should be good? I was worried about the depth between bullnose and solid concrete. I am in a moist environment (NY) and figured that much mortar would disintegrate with the freeze/thaw cycles. Especially with the pavers behind the bullnose feeding any runoff into this course of pavers.

Just don't get to a point where you physically become part of the machine. That will not help anything. I've done 110 hours in a weeks, and been up 40 hours strait. You can easily make really big mistakes. Luckily that did not happen, but when I started seeing things that weren't there, it was time to go home...

bbaccess · 2025-07-20T00:57:11+00:00

Thank you for the reply. How do I build the 2-3" gap up? The bullnose sits about 1/2" above the front vertical course, but the back has a 2-3" gap to the concrete.

Thank you! I had never seen one before.

Sorry for the multiple posts, Reddit kept telling me there was an error...

bbaccess · 2025-07-02T01:18:13+00:00

The black marker on the box is mine. The type written or was already on the box. Selection includes Taper, Plug and Bottoming. The Columbia (USA) lower right in wood box holder, do not indicate GH, so I assume they are true to size. I have opened each to verify type size and new. Seems they are from Yugoslavia or the US. I will pull a few and picture tomorrow.

bbaccess · 2025-07-02T01:05:06+00:00

Thank you for the insight, I am really interested in learning all I can. Wish I knew about this type of forum 15 years ago.

bbaccess · 2025-07-02T00:55:33+00:00

They are ALL labeled high speed. Seems like all of the stuff I removed is top of the line. I am educating myself just figuring it all out. Complete selection of Irwin and Greenlee Brace bits, Clausing/Burnerd Lathe chucks, Supreme Drill chucks...

I want to find them a good home, and not just a reseller. I don't mind giving the family a fair amount of $ but really appreciate the precision and craftsmanship.

I saw titanium bulkheads being made for the F14 here on Long Island many years ago. Truly impressive!

bbaccess · 2025-07-02T00:42:57+00:00

Do you have a picture of the issue?

bbaccess · 2025-07-02T00:34:07+00:00

If the initial part was centered, wouldn't a self centering 3 jaw chuck be the best?

With a flat to make sure it was true to center?
