If global warming it true, you won't need the trailer!

It's 1/4" thick, 40 durometer neoprene.

My shop is 24 X 48, 1152 sq ft.  Most certainly larger than the house I grew up in.

Installed a coat of paint.




Wonder if I can get away with that old Alberta plate.

Hey Look!! The canoe fits!

Made the idler gear spindles for the universal dividing head. Photo shows one of them in place and the other sitting in front.
   
Also bored the splined centre out of the last of a few 14DP gears I picked up, bored the ID to fit the dividing head spindles then cut the keyway on the shaper. Not sure if I've posted a pic of the keyway cutting setup I made for the shaper before, unlike when I was trying to hold the work in the vice, this has the rigidity to be able to cut the slot to the full width rather than having to take roughing passes with different tools.
   
   
   

The shaper has sat unused for probably a couple of months now but when there's a little job like this it is a very nice thing to have. Can't wait to get the chance to try some dovetails on it, tried to get a forklift tine to make some QCTP holders from but the scrap bloke is still on holiday.

PS just previewed this post and the photo of the dividing head spindles is very poor, I'll try and get a better one when I've made the nuts and spacers.

Interesting setup that obviously works well.

Instinctively I would have mounted the gear with the angle plate the other way round and the gear between the plate and the ram, so that cutting forces press the gear onto the angle plate and not off it.

Yeah, but where is he going to find open water this time of year?
