Any day now, I'll have to start the daunting process of choosing flooring, paint, appliances and furniture. Nobody's asked those questions yet.
Mike, I gather you're single, right?

RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - PixMan - 03-01-2015
I had recently joined a snowblower forum to learn more about them before I'd sprung for the two new Ariens machines. In one of the subforums welcoming new members was a post from a new member who was looking for an obsolete pulley for a 30 year old Honda machine. It seems her husband was using it and it just stopped. They put it into a repair shop who couldn't find a replacement, so I offered that if I couldn't fix it I'd just make one.
When I found out the pulley was a weldment of at least two pieces, one of which is a splined hub. Because the pulley was still with their machine in a repair shop, it was unknown what materials were used in making it. A member Honda technician suggested it might be aluminum. As it turned out, no one could find a NOS pulley anywhere, so she collected it and sent it to me. It's a stamped and welded together sheave with a welded in splined hub. The weld at the sheave to hub had failed.
Yesterday (so not today's project) I grabbed a piece of 10" x 10" x 1/2" thick aluminum, sawed and squared it up 7" square. Then I circular milled the plate about .100" (2.5mm) deep to accept the better edge of the sheave's OD. The hub showed one small band of unplated (I think Honda had it zinc chomate plated) metal as the center of it's OD, so I milled a Ø 1.104" counter bore another .040" (1mm) deep to center the hub axially. A Ø .500 reamed hole in the center accepts a shoulder pin I made, and a Ø .530" diameter under the 1" head places the spline's monir diameter concentric to the OD of the sheave.
All the pieces:

The locating pin and the center relieved clamping washer, both made from 4140HT, and the 5/16-18UNC SCHS to clamp the splined hub to the plate:

Partial assembly, the clamping arbor not pulled in to seat yet. A couple of clamps over the plate and sheave with keep those together for welding:

My friend Jennifer will be welding it up for me in a day or two and I'll ship it right back out to Buffalo NY.

What do you think, Steve? I have three milling machines, two lathes, five bandsaws, at least four welders and four motorcycles (that run). Of course I'm single.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Roadracer_Al - 03-03-2015
Hey, I have 2 lathes, 1 mill, 3 welders, 1 plasma cutter, a brake, slip roll, hydraulic press, a giant welding table and 12 motorcycles. And I'm married. Last week, during my bandsaw troubles, she encouraged me to buy a new one. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I found a good one.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Bill Gruby - 03-03-2015
Wrong choice of words my friend, you didn't find a good one, you found the right one. I have been married to my wife for close to 45 years now (April 4, 1970). I have everything I want or need.

RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Dr Stan - 03-03-2015
I have a 14X30 Logan, a Fray #7 mill, a Rockwell wood/metal vertical bandsaw, a shop built horizontal bandsaw, a early 1900's power hack saw, a 10" table saw, a 10HP 4 cylinder 2 stage 120 gallon vertical air compressor, a drill press, a big honking mechanical 20T (at least) press, a forklift, various material handling equipment, a 1966 Plymouth Satellite convertible I hauled back from Richland WA to Owensboro KY, two trailers, four different welders, numerous machine tool attachments, and a boat load of precision, portable power, and hand tools.
Forgot one. An early 1900's Cincinnati planner waiting on restoration. Has a 7ft X about 18in wide table and together they weigh in around 6500#.
And guess what, I'm married going on 35 years. BTW, it doesn't hurt to be married to an artist who understands the need for tools as she has bought me tools for Christmas and birthdays for over two decades.

Our 40th year. She's good, even loans me my own money back...
I've a planer too, Doc. Just cleaned piles of stuff off of it last weekend, been meaning to level it up again as I never got it quite right the first time.
This is not the way to do it, with a depth gauge across the tops like that. There is a little wear in the V's and I was hoping this would work but I really need to map it out.
New Haven, made sometime around the Civil War.

So you wouldn't miss it if I took a trip to Kentucky and got it out of your way, for good?
