Progress report on Little Walt's gears. Don't need to tell you what's buzzin' 'cos you've been keeping up with the exciting instalments I'm penning into the matrix. Surely you have? One day someone will find these electronic words and maybe wonder what the fook world civilisation was doing. Aye, at the moment humanity seems to be on a path of self destruction. These electro-communications may be all that's left? Hang on Alb, this isn't the blog you use to reach out with jottings of wisdom....Whoops, keep that to the almost legenday 'Vintaker Blog'. Let's start again with engineering news for the oily micrometer club stalwarts.
I have 3 x gears that are now centre good remember?...precision eroded...call it what you want. Next step let's get some of the unwanted metal turned off the sides of these blanks and fill the lathe catch tray with swarf.
I'm penning this like it happened in a flash....No way old chap, the replicating of the original spec gears into the new blanks took me quite a while. Mainly 'cos the workshop is a place of peace and quiet. an inner sanctum.... Why shouldn't I go the long way round on the slimming down process? No need for efficiency scoring when the zone you're in is far removed from the daily news of 'Dirty Bastard Politician Pedophiles'. DAMN!!! and thice Damn!! Stop this sentence right now. Fear of arrest alert!!! Digital Police likely to come knocking.....one wrong world and it's likely a lock up in the same cell with 3 x Ukranian rent boys.
Ok, forget all that. I'm back in my no thinking inefficient zone...'The Old Sidevalve Bar' .
The sand of time ran through the hour glasses many times but no worries at last I have finally done what I intended. See below for some wonderful lathe action followed by some delicious piccies of the results. Feast your mincers on how close the new looks like the old...Hey, you could easily be back in the late 1920's................. Aye the 1920's..when any thought of belonging to the fabian society (pedophilia branch) meant testicals likely to be cut off and hung on the Town Hall door!! You know I can't let this breakdown of society go unscripted....getting side tracked again....Sorry!! Stop now...that's enough.
