I have in my possession another broken nut gun.

this one is going to be used for bearings for the honing machine.

there are plenty of other useful bits and pieces in this thing.

(this is just blogging for the sake of it, totaly out of control)

thought I may as well put this one in as well

I cant get over how fantastic the wings are on these things

 

this one was taken earlier this year

can't remember when.

just took this photo in the garden

Its funny how magic can just disapear in a puff of smoke.

  This honing tool is turning into a bit of a saga.

I mean....every little detail needs a new tool, its driving me nuts.

I tried turning a twelve millimeter thread about three inches onto a twelve mill steel tube but the die was not the split type an I couldn't get it to start,

I ordered a new set of dies from work and included english sizes in the order only to find about a week later that they were discontinued so I re ordered the metric.

The nut gun has found itself useful again as shoes on the mandrel.

I need now some pulleys to reduce the speed of the router that I am going to use to power the honer.

the whole contraption will be mounted onto an old black and decker jobber.

If I ever get it going its gonna rip my hands off.
