Nice work on the collet chuck, Chuck. I built one for my SB lathe and it sure is nice having the repeatability when you have to remove and replace the peice your working on.

Ed, Please delete the above two posts by me.
The comments I tried to post didn't show up (is this a defense mechanism?)

had one of those weird jobs rear its ugly head today that you think won't really be a problem until you get started on it and find out that you don't have the one tool you need to actually fix what it is that your working on.

Well I needed a bearing spliter and the one I have which will fit some pretty big stuff wouldn't work, so I made one to pull a sleave off a probably 5/16" shouldered stud.

Its not pretty but it worked and that's all that counts for a one time use tool. nice thing is the puller I made a spell back is almost big enough to work with it.

First try was made out of 1018 flat bar, the edge pulled out of it, the one in the photo is made from a couple little fall off piece's from a trailer spring that I have been sawing up making some parts for a Highwall I'm working on.

Assembled one of the wall sections in the shop where I had the aid of the overhead crane. Looks like they'll go together easily.
Now have to move it in one chuck.

poured some iron today that turned out like it was suppose to nice and gray the days pour, the flask the pestle was in floated so it has a sunk n spot where the iron ran out of the mold cavity, its still a useable part just not round in the one spot.

snapped gate to check color of iron nice and gray with a nice small tight grain structure

what was poured into the ingot mold I sawed the end off of it.

Greg , the frame looks very smart , good looks and very robust , I bet its some weight to move about now. It shoulld last for many a year, Job well done.

dallen , that cast looks perfect to me , not a mark in the bits sawn through, hope it machines as good as it looks.

 Cheers Mick.

Mick, with the ease that it sawed, it will machine with no problem. the parts only needed to have the flash cleaned off of them, although the one that the cope floated on needed a good deal of grinding to cleanup.

Nothing better then when a pour turns out like its suppose too.

A wet morning but did some assembly after lunch. Your right Mick, that frame was a bit of a bear to move. The rest will be assembled on site.
