Shed Matters 3

[Stanley]

This morning after a bit of cleaning up I drilled and tapped the eccentric for the 1/4" Whitworth grub screw that will lock the eccentric to the shaft eventually. That was enough time in a cold shed... I retired to the kitchen for breakfast.

This morning I spent half an hour on the eccentric sleeve. Then I spent another half hour uploading it! Now for breakfast.

This morning I spent half an hour refining the eccentric strap, milling the remaining surfaces that needed adjusting and drilling the oil hole. It is ready now for fitting the bolts that hold both halves together and then splitting and boring it. But right now I am chasing my breakfast.

This morning I cut the recess for the eccentric rod, drilled and tapped for the CS screw and fitted the rod. Then I drilled for the bolts that will hold the two halves of the strap when they have been split. Next job is the split and fitting the strap on the eccentric but that's for tomorrow. Right now I want breakfast.

I finished fitting the bolts and it was slightly more complicated than I expected so I didn't get round to splitting the strap. However, I did remember to give it the witness marks that ensure correct orientation and fitting. Now for breakfast.
