Well tis morning and I is up, though not going at it yet. Got a lot to do but trying to get this headache to subside prior to starting.

Tis late and looks like tomorrow will be a more involved day than planned so till then… 😉

Looks like tomorrow will be a bit busier than I had planned. Nothing like making things interesting with new projects…

Just got to clear out a place in the qhut to move the lathe into. Which will most likely mean removing some of the book shelves.

But in some ways I guess it will make things a bit easier/cheaper. Won’t have to order the tools I mentioned earlier or the bushings.

So looks like I will have to machine new ones. Hope my pre WWII lathe is up to the precision that will be required.

Looks like the repair on the Ingraham movement is gonna be a bit more involved than I had thought. Non standard bushings in place now.

Need to charge the camera battery to get lots of pics of this movement before, while, and after tearing it down, to put it back together.

Nothing like jumping in way over the head in trying to get the toes damp… 😉

Looks like I get to order tools to do the bushings with on both movements. Thought this one was ok but it needs at least 6 pivots bushed.

Picked up the Ingraham movement and brought it home to work on. Want to do if first as it has about half the gears the Seth Thomas does.

Made it all the way through the day at Piedmont. Overall I feel pretty good. Hoping I am over this mess. Another day or two will tell.
