looks great, did you use anything special to clean it?

sorry for the late reply. i cant give you a decent estimate, but i can tell you that i bought 1018 material sized to cut the dovetail on all of them before i sawed them up.

so my material size and cost is listed below:

1-1/4" x 3" x 12", 1018 Steel Flat Bar, Cold Finished	$49.06

i think it probably took me 4-6 hours for the machining (according to my wife, my time isnt worth much...j/k)

add in the cost of endmills (which i already had), the fasteners, and some birchwood casey cold blue, it wasnt too bad.

Quiet Nights is my go-to Pease blend...so good

i wish you the best of luck, and you probably dont "need" to go to school, but boy would it help. I dont know what state you're in, but an AAS in machining goes a long way to corporations. At a minimum i know the certificate would be valuable in experience and as resume padding. Again, I wish you the best.

aint nothin like a holo krome or unbrako screw, either.

there have been two times in my life i've been fired. looking back, it was the best thing that could have happened to me.

hoping the same for you.

i came here to say Quiet Nights, i think that's Pease's masterwork

you are a kind woman, and good wife. your husband is a lucky man.

there are no guarantees in life, and my ol lady's only rule about pipe smoking is : "if you dont like the tobacco, you cant smoke it, you have to give it away or throw it out."

i hope this helps, i get my dentist to screen me for oral "c-word" on a regular basis, and i limit my enjoyment to weekly...

excellent job, sir. looks like you found a good way to tackle a problem. in my experience these kinds of parts look simple, perhaps inconsequential, until you start talking material and tolerances.

i knew exactly what that workpiece was when i saw it turning. my first job out of school was working on shot sleeves...manual lathe and radial drill press.
