Viney's Homemade Centerpin

[Worms]

That's the one Chris, I have a list as long as my arm of jobs from her indoors for this weekend

 

Managed to get a bit done yesterday and today, all the line lays have been cut and drilled ready to be tapped and both sides of the spool are roughed out and parted off. Hopefully be able to get it up on the mill to start drilling the holes for the line lays and spokes on Monday

 

Looking good mate!

Progress has been slow as I've sort of been promoted at work so I'm no longer working on the machining side of things as much but I got a couple of hours in this evening, going to redo the spokes as I'm not 100% happy with them

Didn't have any gear cutters at work so I made my own and set out to make the gear for the ratchet

 

 

 

Can an admin possibly change the title of this for me please?

What does the spool weigh out of interest Matt

That does look nice Matt, I couldn't achieve what you've done but I fear the really hard bits are still to come, almost there. If you want Lythe style screw heads for the line bearers then it'll be useful to know that he buys in the brass screws, re-machines the heads and re-cuts the slots. He has screwdrivers ground for a precise fit on each fastener so there are no bow ties when he puts the reels together.
