Check twice!

I am still moving forward but with work cramming me and the foot giving me a bit of a rough time, my progress is slow.

I do have parts on order and will be back at it very shortly, with new accomplishments and problems.

I have not put this aside but mankind has decided to only put 24 hours in a day and I have to sleep and rest for about 8 of them. 1/3 of our life devoted to rest,,,, wow!

Well 5:20 am and a few minutes late leaving for work. Chat later

Hey John,

No doubt work is interfering with the real gems of life. I'm sure you'll be on top of it again once your routine is properly settled in. 5:20...wow and I thought it was tough to get up at 6:00 AM.

Ed......:-)

Surely there must be a law against being on the streets at that hour of the night. I'm not sure if I have ever been out and about at that unearthly hour.

Hi John

They say early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy and wealthy and wise, and what I see that you have posted it must be true..

I know you must get up at 5:00 but it's the best time of day for me....it's always nice to say hello to the milk man and with luck get a freebe of a qt.of milk to drink on the little walk in the AM...our milk man is a real nice guy.. and is a saw dust maker also..

Hi gentlemen

I picked up my love joy connectors and spider connectors, plus the bearings for the acme screw drives, on the way home from work. I am getting some shop time this weekend, "yes sir"

I will take photos of my work over the weekend. I have a jig to build to grind the end down on the acme to fit in the connectors. i have some motor mounts to get drilled,,,, man do I love this.

A couple of photos from another build to explain better than me.

Chat in a bit.

The weekend did get some headway for sure, not as much as I would have liked. I had some happy surprises as well (they have to find me) some things to re-think. It is the thinking thing that hurts

The photos are in two stages 1- 3 yesterday,,,, 4 - 6 today. I also had some "honey do" chores.

I managed to get the motor mouts all drilled and taped where needed, and the anti back lash nuts finished, I hope these work or I will have to purchase three and the 2 start rod. The anit backlash nuts can be best seen in photo #2 (upper right) and #6

I drilled and taped the acme nuts and inserted set screws (photo #2) this replaced using two acme screws back-locked together. A much neater finish, and not sticking out near as far.

I then had a problem, I could not put the acme nut directly on the bearing, and not being able to find a washer with a 1/2" hole and only 7/8" Dia., I even searched for nylon,,,,, "not", Grrrrrr! I found a piece of HDPE 1" thick, and managed to make the washers, (very time consuming) Picture #5 - #7.

I chose to put a HDPE block in the anti-backlash nut, (more time) Photo #6 - #7 The original plans did not call for this either. (photo #1)

I ran out of some hardware and will have to pick this up tomorrow. My "wish list" photo #5. Darn these cost over-runs.

A lot of piddling this weekend, but moving ahead.

Coming along nicely John. Just try to take it easy with your foot and all. After all got to be able to play with that fine project when it is finished. Hope to see pics when you get it going. HA beat Harry to the punch on this one.
