David,
What's the thread size on that nicely made screw?

David,
Be a good boy and follow the doctor's orders. No sense in risking further damage.

Heart attack on Monday and back in the shop with a stent the following Monday. Sounds pretty quick, ain't modern medicine amazing?
I think getting back to normal asap is important but heed Ed's advice, take care.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Mayhem - 05-28-2013
Risk of damage to the stent is minimal. Risk of a serious bleed from cutting yourself whilst on anticoagulant therapy is a real risk. Especially if you faint, smack your head and then have a cerebral haemorrhage to contend with.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - dallen - 05-28-2013
Ed the external thread on the screw is 3/8 X 24 I single pointed it to almost full depth then ran a die down it to clean it up.
The being back on the machines isn't really a big deal, driving the first day they let me out was out of the question because of the chance of opening up the incision in the Femoral Artery which you don't want to do.
Mayhem, I've been on some of the strongest blood thinners that they have for years, so I know that the risk and hazards are. fainted and fell in the floor one night, broke my nose and don't know how long it was before it stopped.
As far as getting back to it me and the little dog go walk about 1/2 a mile every morning, and riding the lawn mower is a hell of a lot worst then standing in front of a lathe.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - dallen - 05-28-2013
got this little jewel today to keep me busy with. Its a 18 size Waltham Pocket Watch movement that they say runs and is only missing one hand and I have a case that it will look great in.

Nice job on the stop Ed.
I hope that rear bar is going to be stiff enough. Is it steel or aluminum?
Tom
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - dallen - 05-28-2013
worked on this made the knob which should provide enough grip to pull the hands off of a clock, the screw I made from some 3/16 Drill Rod by running a 10/32 die down it. And made a firing pin for a shotgun for the local shop he doesn't have the tools.

Tom,
It's hardware store 1/2" zinc plated steel bar. I had to mill some flats on it so that's why I made it 1/2". It sits on top of two 8mm bolt heads, thus the need for the flats. In the image below, you can see the tips of the bolt heads (in red) behind the rod. The bolt is tapped 8-32 through to mount the rod onto the bolt head. The other image is a top view of the rod.

Ed,
The reason I ask is that the rear bar on my stop is .75 dia., turned from .875 square where it mounts to the rear of the vise. The last thing you want is a stop that feels springy when you push a part against it.
Tom
