Rob,
Do you happen to have plans for that indicator holder? One of those has been on my project list for some time now. Your design looks much nicer than the other ones I've seen.

The slot required a tad of hand fitting at the bench .

Thats the valve just about done , I have left the other end long and un machined as I am still undecided how I will be controlling the valve.
Next ,welded on the dump flange .

Nice work Rob. Usually I have to stop work because of a curry, not for one
RE: Coke Forge Build - EdK - 05-04-2015
Another nice job Rob!
Now I want to know about the helper you have clamped in your vise. That looks very useful.

Rob,
You don't happen to have drawings for those gorgeous vises do you.
Ed
RE: Coke Forge Build - RobWilson - 05-04-2015
Thanks Ed ,
Not sure I will see what I can dig up
when I got a new computer I just dumped lots of drawing files thinking they would never be needed
