26

lathes are fun. Looks like a good time :slight_smile:

27

Looking good grin. Nice work on the threads. What pitch are you using?

28

Im watching this one closely. Thanks for sharing and I hope all goes well!

29

1.25mm pitch probably should have used 1mm, that is what most commercial lights use on battery tubes.

30

Coming along nicely! :beer:

31

Nice project, grin! Looks good sofar!

32

Wow ! Great build ! And Good job documenting with clear pictures and explaining. :+1:
Are you a Machinist by trade ? I like the 1.25 pitch better, cross-threading is less likely.

33

Nice work :+1:

34

I know who Im pulling for this round!

35

Nice work so far! I would have never thought a serious machinist would trust a bit extension like that. I thought that was just for us janky folks! :open_mouth: But it seems to have worked really well, and the tri-bore looks good from my house! :smiley: :+1:

36

Use any technique that works :+1:

37

nice work! :+1:

38

Nice work and documentation :+1:

I think it was a good choice on thread size.
