And will be a working day tomorrow so till then… 😉

Had 6 that needed to be done, and after getting things set up, didn’t take but about 15 minutes a bushing. Am about done in though.

Went to get some needed groceries and then came back and started on cutting the holes out to put the bushings in the plates.

At about 4 pm. 🙁 Got all the pivots on the wheels of the Ingraham sanded, burnished, and polished by about 6, and took a break.

Finally got them to less than 1/1000 and called it close enough. Put the pivot filing support in the tailstock jacobs chuck and got to work.

So ended up spending another hour + cleaning up the #3 morse taper to #2 morse taper adaptor and the extra #2 morse taper jacobs chuck.

Finally got it within about 5/10,000 and called it done. Then couldn’t get the 3/8 inch jacobs chuck to center.

Then had to do some shimming to get it back into alignment. After that spent another 2 hours trying to get the 3 jaw chuck in alignment.

Spent a fair amount of the day working on the lathe. Took the tailstock apart, cleaned it and used a file to correct some earlier repairs.

Just finished rebushing the Ingraham clock. Got it together for a test fitup now but need to take it back down and do a final clean up.

Then can put it back together, oil with nano oil and call it fixed. I hope. 🙂
