After getting home at midnight last night from yet another trip out to my employer's HQ in Wisconsin, I did get over to the shop for a short time late this afternoon.
I need to make two more end caps for Darren's steady rest project, so I first made a "plug gauge" for the internal 1-1/8"-32UN threads in the caps. Short on time, I quickly made one mating piece and it came out perfect. Just an hour to make the gauge and the first piece.
The next time I get in the shop (Monday or Tuesday), I hope to be able to finish the second one and I may make a third to be sure they all look alike.
