Rather Repetitive Lineboring

Lineboring the second headstock casting for the Gingery lathe.
I learnt a lot about how this setup gives you a LOT more rigidity than the way the book teaches. It makes it harder to measure, though.

It was good to hear the “woohoo!” :-) Glad to see the headstock come together.

This might sound like a bit of a back handed compliment. But although these videos don't have the production quality when it comes to video and editing of some of the bigger channels they really do make up for it in my opion due to how much more relatable they are. There's a few Gingery build video series out there, but this is the only one in a workshop that looks like mine, with tools that most of us have and show you suffering the sort of issues and frustrations that cause some of us to bench projects like this. I think it's this that has finally got me started on my own Gingery style lathe build a couple of weeks ago now after years of thinking about it. Also was good to gear that genuine excitment at the end! :)

I left out the parts with bad language! I also didn't include the problems with the gib slipping for the last dash of boring, mostly because of my bad language haha.

Mr Allen, looking like your in the final stretch after conquering that headstock bearing issue. All this makes you a better machinist, it makes you think outside the normal way to machine things.

[@HaveAGoAlan]

It also makes you appreciate the need to get things exact, and exactly right.

Don’t be shy about tooting your own horn just a little. It’s quite the thing you are accomplishing!

It's looking real good.😂

Olá amigo excelente trabalho!!! Lhe desejo muita saúde e cada vez mais sucesso!!!

[@HaveAGoAlan]

Thank you!

Like you say might need the tailstock support again. I'd keep it for boring out the actual tailstock. I've bored out mine so i could fit a larger quill and had to find another matching tailatock for the job. No idea what the Gingery book says though.

[@HaveAGoAlan]

It isn't hoarding, it's strategic storage of assets that will be needed in future ;-)

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice work sir. Unfortunately it’s part of any kind of work. Repetition happens and you have to do it.

[@HaveAGoAlan]

I don't mind by now, but it certainly doesn't make for exciting youtube videos :)

I see belts, that tells me its 100% compatible with a V8 engine.

[@HaveAGoAlan]

I'm afraid it only has four gears, though!
