Nice work! That style of cabinet sure does look nice in cherry.

Thanks Guys !
Glad your not ostracizing me when I leave the metal shop and go to the dark side.
Will keep posting as the project progresses.

Not even close Greg. The dark side would be more like knitting.

Whipped up this little aluminum spacer to help hold the nut to the table leg for welding.

Just imagine a picture of John sitting out on the deck in his "summer attire" working a pair on knitting needles.
"Does not compute, Will Robinson" ....

That sucker sure isn't going to move!
You should send a picture of that to HF Ed. Maybe they will include one in every box for the end users since they'll all need it.

What if you were knitting with steel wool?

Since my shop is located at my mom's home and I was going to visit her today for Mother's Day anyhow, I worked on the little project for Ed's lathe a bit. The bronze nut has to be done first so I can cut the screw thread to fit snug. The 5/8-10 LH Acme tap I have is, thankfully, the only left hand Acme tap I own. It's the right one for his cross slide screw and nut assembly I'm making.
The only 660 bronze I have is a couple short pieces of 3" diameter, so I lopped off just over an inch of it on the bandsaw and carved it up to the block. Boring stuff, I know. It was an easy decision to turn the slug into mostly chips rather than try and cut it on the bandsaw any further. Here's the photos that speak for themselves.

I actually finished the milling and went on the drill the hole, chamfer and tap it. Unfortunately, I haven't got good pictures yet. I set it up and started slotting it, but decided it would be best to get the fit of the threads to the nut while it's still a solid. It is unlikely to spring open when the slot is cut, more likely collapse a little if at all. The 660 bronze is dimensionally stable.
