Thread: What are you working on?

You lost me on your question Roy. A handle on a wheel? The outer edge of the wheel is thicker so gripping the outer edge is easier. As far az the knock-out rod goes, its the one that came with the lathe. I just took the tiny ball off the end and screwed on my larger sized one. It was just 1/4 x 20 threads. I think its steel as i did not see any sign of brass even one the cut threads.

I think he means like this ?

Or like a suicide knob on a steering wheel. Something to give you a spot that’s easier to grip and allows you to get a bit more leverage.

I finished this up this week. I do like these, and every time I make one I think that I will have to keep one for myself. So far that hasn't happened. It's my take on a Puma.

I see. Thanks Rez. I know about those. Knuckle busters. When using the wheel its mainly for small turns. Or to turn slowly. No need for a handle to spin the wheel.

DVW-That's a beautiful knife!

Jerry-Way to keep moddin' your rig there. I need to make me one of them thar hand-wheels. I've made a couple of face-plate jam-chucks, so it looks like a pretty simple turn (especially compared to all the tight work on a shaving brush lol!).

I think what I need most right now is to make a tool rack. That slanted rack on the stock Laguna table just lets them wobble all over the place unsupported. You were smart to bolt yours to that custom bench. Then carbides, sharpening wheels and jigs, sheesh-the lathe really is the cheapest part of this!

DVW nice knife! Love the looks of it.

Just finished this up. It is the last of the NOS SMKW that I purchased. This one I cut down both ends of the scales and made a new wedge for it. The "wedge" that they come with in pretty pathetic. Also, I added stainless steel pins, and I got a little crazy re-grinding the shape of the blade. I do like little stubby razors.

Sweet knife. I assume that is modded celluloid or bone not actually antler? Looks really nice.
