Todays job was pedal bushes and clevis's

[les g]

My little boy is turning into an engineer


He made these for me today



They come out like this, Im well chuffed



They didnt all come out right first time



At 50p an inch letting him make me things out of delrin could get very expensive!!!


Well done TJ that was worth the effort

He has enough delrin left over to make six more if anyone wants some

Cheers Les G

The jobs a good un Les, well done TJ

Don't waste those Delrin turnings .... Get TJ to make you a Santa Clause beard

Never use it for silencer packing though

cheers Bonzo
yea we had a great day
when i was down at your place i realised i
had sprayed the chassis rails and forgotten to put
in the lower seat belt points gulp i did feel silly
could not bring myself to tell you so i made them while TJ
made the pedal bush's on the lathe....
TJ says i could use swarf for a wig when i go bald
cheeky runt......
but i,m really proud of him his ability to pick things
up quickly still surprises me , this was his first go on a lathe
i know a pedal bush is a simple thing to machine
but he got a good handle on it right away
gonna have a nice glass of wine now
cheers les g

Well done TG, turning plastic is one of my favorite jobs, guess its because I can't ruin the machine tool tips with plastic or alli !

[Bonzo]

No shame in that Les

I still have a pile of bit's n bob's to weld & alter on the chassis .... I guess it's all parr for the course on a first build

Nice to hear that TJ has an aptitude for turning .... Still looking for Juniors tallents

Nick

You want to see some of the tooling that I have FUBAR'ed turning alloy

[les g]

Do you think now is a good time to ask the old man for
some cash
TJ

[Bonzo]

Tell him that Ronnie said it will be OK

Nice bit of turning mate
