Thanks Henry, but if i do put it in Ill want to do it in Brass or wood. Need to refine the skill. -
Yes Alan i do have very fine chisels. But i want to horn the technique to film it so that i can share what Greg showed in the book. The reason i had trouble cutting the squares is that i did not have a mill end the exact size so used a center end instead. I was more interested in the technique than in the exact finish. I also went about constructing the part different than what Greg showed in the book. Stretching my skill to try figure it out my self. . Next time i will construct it the way he built it and then decide which method is better. I need some new mill ends to do it his way. I only have a few days left before i leave for New York so the next video will be last week of January next year so i have time. Also my rotary table has most of the numbers missing so i have written to Sherline to see how i can have them replaced. perhaps with a sticker. Failing that i will just have to mark the major stop points temporarily. Thats the only way to get them to line up exactly. also Greg used a dark wood insert, Ebony, i used a brass strip which was not the correct width. I may stick with that as it worked well, but might try cutting it out of a brass sheet.
-
I did not have the correct size mill ends to cut the square holes. This is my first attempt. I will pick up some when i am in New York in 2 weeks time. I am not unhappy with this 1st try and know ill get it better. Some of the markings on my rotary table have worn off so it makes it difficult to cut the holes spot on. Trying to solve that issue.
-
Greg I did use the dial indicator and it did not need any adjustment. The only issue I had was turning the cutter head in the wrong direction once.

I am only now understanding this post. I did not realize that youtube now offers multiple languages. How fantastic.

NRG has agreed to post a video log which i am presently indexing. With 134 videos it is taking much longer that i thought as i now have to watch each one and make notes. The first few were very primitive. So yes a index and log is essential.
-
David i will add a note to the written description. That the good thing about youTube in that it provides a section to make corrections and editions. As always i truly appreciate the feedback.

Here are my ship notes. I went back on the book but David does not give an explanation why he beefed up the sides at the top and bottom.
-
This was the design that David has in the book. It was not explained but my guess is that this was added to the top and bottom of the ladder where the most pressure exists. You can ask David next time you see him.

Not sure what you mean Alan, the step actually goes in three more beams that are not yet installed. The only thing behind the step are some blocks on the deck and the bulkhead.
