Today I reamed out it's hole and pushed it's tongue in.
It was hairy but I slipped my nuts in and it was all nice and tight.
Coming together nicely.

Welded the old holes up in the mill swarf tray and ground them flat. In the sun to dry off after washing.
Marked out, drilled and tapped the stand to put the Centec on.
Drilled the new holes in the swarf tray.
No re-adjustment necessary

All stopped now to watch the rugby

The British Legion collected this, well I sent it to them in a pre-paid jiffy bag.
The family have been located, but with not to be made public. I know the name.
They are in New Zealand, that's all I want to know.
I am glad it is going back to the family.

I feel Im getting better at tig. My feeding is still rubbish, burning my fingers. This little wp17 torch is not doing bad at 180A
I did 2 or 3 runs on each side to get enough filler in.
Please tell me, what is the uglyness by the arrow? Did I dip the tungsten or is it dirt?
The selfie/welding light helped.
The 20mm shank of this and the other holder still needs to be chopped off, might grinder that.
And first chips facing some bar, 150mm stickout and no problem.

Interesting, theres a few. I had a look with loupe and they are proud of the surface, so I guess they form as the bead solidifies?
Grind out and reweld?
Dipped a few times gettting the height adjuster on

Seeing your picture, something struck me that I had never noticed before: when using a left hand boring bar, the cutting force creates a torque about the toolpost stud, which will tend to unscrew it with a conventional RH thread on the securing nut.

Well not today, yesterday. Dug my precious out (the tin of Kasenit, it is mostly the real thing) and set to with the big propane torch as the little one was definitely out of gas. Worth mentioning that the tongs you see in the pic were made for me by Glen a looong while back now, just after he was setting up I think and they are really really nice to use, I have a few pairs.
This is Glens website and yes, I know you are supposed to make your own as a "Blacksmith" and yes you can pick them up for peanuts (has anyone actually tried paying with peanuts?) but it's nice to support fellow tradesmen around the world: https://www.gstongs.com
The little bottle benefitted from sitting in the fridge for half an hour first:

Loaf No. 2 this weekend.
Hand made, left too cool, then attacked.
The yeast was mixed with the milk and a bit of sugar and left over night.
This should last longer than Loaf N0.1.

Are those re-filling adaptors available commercially, or did you make it?

Slitting saw on the mill or even on the lathe were my thoughts.
cheaper too....
