In my mad, manic and calm tidy up, this was uncovered.

So I acquired this bundle.

@mrsbruce almost suitable for you.

The shaft was old, but been in a workshop for a while.
Hand scarper had most of the dirt off. A polish on the lathe.

The head was wire brushed and polished.

Yes, I have saved another hammer.

But where is mine? I want a hammer

^^^^^you forgot stamping feet

I think they should be ok with a little JB Weld.

It’s the big end of the no.5 connecting rod. The piston was so stuck that I flared the end of the rod out by beating on it.

Fortunately all the pieces I need are intact.

Did the bores not get badly scored getting those pistons out? Or is this going to be converted into a coffee table!

But unlike one on here. @Parm will not go running and crying to a Mod on here.

Turned my Lathe into electronic screw - it works need to now make it all nice looking

The bores aren’t too bad but as you’ve guess it’s becoming a coffee table.

OH acquired 2 old bread trays from the local food bank where she volunteers, so a spot of repurposing has turned one of them into a jewellery holder in her dressing room.

Nice job.
How will you sync it for screw cutting?

NOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..................

It's just a rumour, why would I need to hold a lily? .

Edit: "Hold"??? Should have said gild...

 

[Ton-up]

Are they handcuffs?

 

[Maker]

Are they handcuffs?

Glad it wasn't just me who thought that. Looks like something Spencer's misses might have at first glance.

 

[erasma]

Nice job.
How will you sync it for screw cutting?

I just leave the half nut engaged and reverse the stepper motor after backing out the cutter

 

[Johnnybravo]

Some big swarf. Haven’t used my 62mm drill in awhile

Jeez! How big is your tailstock????

How do you sync the tool travel speed with the rotation of the workpiece for a given thread pitch?

The electronics has an encoder which is run off the head stock in the back of the lathe which then calculates the stepper motor speed based on the gear ration and stepper micro steps setup on the Stepper driver and in the controller. this is not my design but rather https://github.com/clough42/electronic-leadscrew/wiki - I just followed along
