Re: Fwd: indexing hub modification

Curtis,
That's a great "find" you had.  Like you often say:  "Just get yourself some inexpensive/free wood and play with it - to develop you skills.
You have shown us the you "practice what you preach".
Now you have plenty of stock (free) that you can use to make some huge toothpicks with.
Have fun - and improve your skills.

Mac

Subject: Fwd: indexing hub modification

Hello Everyone

I thought today was going to be a play day. sadly I was wrong, my wife had my day all planed out, Yard work. removing the old shrubs in the front and re-working the hole front yard.

"Man" I am glad tomorrow is Monday,  I don't think I could handle another day like today again. at least at work I get two 15 min. breaks and an 1/2 hour for lunch for an 8 hour day. No such luck here! ;-(

I know Expect the Greater Re Ward ...

Any How , Now that the sun is down I can go out a play in the shop some.

Which brings up the indexing hub modification.

I got a milk container full of wood spindles out of the garbage last week. Its nothing special just  popular spindles, that the centers have already been drilled out. 

These spindles have a 1/4" hole on both ends, So what I did was to drill out a center of one of my indexing hubs and taped it for a 1/4"-20 screw.  The 1/4" screw fits the hole (centering the hub) and with just one or two screws I can have a spindle ready for ether my Legacy or lathe in min.'s.

Sometimes the simple things are the best!

Any how here are a few pix.

Please let my know what you think?

C.A.G.
