![]() All right then: The dreaded gutting of the wheel halves has been.....Trying. Deep hole pocketing is a genuine Bee-yatch (Google it) and I knew this would be the real sucky part, but Dang. Anyway, they will be slower than hoped but that's how it goes sometimes- I've never done anything like these before so probs are not unexpected. Good news is my new method should eliminate hand-finishing these on the lathe so will save about as much time as has been spent trying to optimize these ops, ergo not a huge biggie in the end.
Pics as soon as these ops are proofed & running, ideally mid-week. SHEESH! Chris REC |

![]() Thanks so much Mate. I guess a monkey could do these if he had as much time as I've had, though! (Cursethisplacenomonkeysmilie...)
I have ONE set unsold as of right this minute: The total sold has bounced between 77-79 all this time, so my guess of 80 sets total seems Spot-On. HURRY BEFORE THEY'RE DONE ONLY 3 MONTHS LEFT!!!! Not really. ![]() |

![]() Well OK yes! Friday I finished all gutting of the 'Tubes'. I hadda Pre-Re-Gut the long 'uns once more, as I worried that tool pressure gouging out the last big hunk & finishing to final wall thickness in the same op would mean I'd hafta clamp 'em down tighter that I wanted to avoid distorting the thinner final wall. So, today I begin the 1st of 2 FINISHING ops, one on the mill & a last op on the manual lathe to skim off the inside & give it a nice, Non-Milled finish. At least we're using the word 'Finish', and that lifts my heart indeed!
Boy, you chaps can be Totally assured that this will be the only run of these ever! Dang! ![]() By the way, these are now Officially SOLD OUT. It seems I picked the exact right number at 80 sets total worldwide, it's been dancing between 76-79 sets for a while. Should have the 'Tubes' DONE within, oh, say 2 weeks? I WILL celebrate that night! Chris REC |
