- This video is a follow on (forgive the pun) from my last videos 'Making a steady rest (pt1-2) I hope you enjoy.
I am about to shut down my workshop to prepare everything for a move to a new workshop, I won't film the process like many others often do, I shall simply post updates durring the move. If tou're subscribed you should recive them. bye for now.
Very nice design, and the Missus is a dang fine painter. Enjoyed very much, cheers!
Hi, thanks, she sure is and she's a retired silicone and rubber engineer. and thats also helpful with drawings as well. she's designing the new workshop.... if I ask her nicely. (and a box of chocolates). cheers
You do some lovely work Paul in all fairness. 😊😊😊😊
Hi Nell, sorry I missed this one...😲
Sorry I haven't been hanging around over the pass couple yrs since I subscribed, but now that the cancer has decided it hated living in ole Bear, I hopefully will get back more often. Will back up to Pt 1 & 2 as well. I still have plans to build one for my LeBlond 17, but old man winter has set in here in TX usa, and like the cancer, don't want to leave any time soon,,, 😞. Best on the move, and don't let your Bride over do it, hehe! Bear
Hope all goes well from the 🇬🇧
Hi, I've just found out that my kidneys are very poorly, so I can almost understand what being told that you have the big 'C' could feel like. all the best with your recovery. enjoy the videos. cheers
Fantastic as always Paul!! Best of luck with the move👍
Hi, thanks.
All the best with the move,Paul.
Hi Michel, i'm very busy with preparing the house and gardens for sale. but I am planing to design and make that very special 'spinny' thing.
for the drill and mill. still enjoy your videos, nice work on that shaper screw... and lathe fix. cheers.
Best of luck with the move! Looking forward to a tour of the new workshop!
so am I. cheers
Hi Paul.
Not only a great build and video, but great narration to boot!
Looks forward to more content in you new workshop.
Best wishes on your move 👍🏼
Hi, thanks. cheers
Hi, thanks... lots to do. cheers
Hi Paul. Thank you for such an enjoyable and engaging video. The end result is fabulous. Well done. 👏👏👍😀
Hi, glad you enjoyed. cheers
What an ingenious piece of equipment! Well done! 👍🤗
Hi, thanks
Nicely done and easy to watch. Thanks
Hi, thanks, glad you enjoyed. cheers
It’s a great word Bludgeoned. Good luck with the move & look forward to seeing you on the other side.
cheers tony.
very nice bit of kit. In a machine shop all bits of kit and other thingummybobs should work as well as that one
Hi, thanks
Quite a walk but what a view!
cheers
Howdy Paul! I've just finished moving into my new shop. Now im setting up the machines and such. I hope your move goes smoothly. Great job as always! Cap'n
Hi, great news and thanks, cheers.
Nice design on the follow rest. Word on moving. You never realize just how much stuff you've collected and own until you move it. Good luck on the move and setting up a new shop space.
Hi, how true... I haven't got a clue where to start. cheers
happy moving mr hopewell.
cheers ben
Hi, thanks, cheers
Very nice job there TSD. What process and filler rod did you use to weld it, if I may ask? If you care to detail your welding, you can get tips from many welders here to step up your game with what you have to weld with. Cheers.
Hi, thats a very good question. its just bunch of 2mm rods I've had sitting around for the last hundred years. rods are expensive on a pension so I use what falls to hand for my own stuff, I get many things to fix but any welding I give to a friend to do he's the mutts nuts with welding.
cheers

Nice work! Some followers have the top pad about 15’ over vertical, in theory this further reduces the potential for chatter as the top pad also helps limit workpiece movement towards the tool.
Hi, never really thought about that, I should imagine that them over centre guides would work very well, now that I've had time to think about it. Cheers
Excellent design! I'm going to make one similar for my South Bend 10K. Thank you for sharing.....
Hi you're very welcome, cheers
Awesome job! Love this idea!
Nicely nice chap .... Thank You Kindly for sharing ...... Mmmm new workshop / garage .... All the best with it to you both.
peace
Hi, thanks.
Awesome work Paul. Can’t wait for more :)
Hi, I am currently preparing to sell my home with a view to buying a smaller property with prospects for a sturdier workshop. My current workshop floor flexes like a waterbed. cheers
Very nice indeed. Good luck with the move. I did it some time ago. I have made a universal machine moving system that I can use with any of my machines. It consists of beams with jacking castors. It enables me to move any machine in my workshop single handedly with perfect safety and stability.
Hi, that'll be good when I've moved but at my current workshop I have to traverse across 50 meters of gravel. that'll require a few favours being called to shift my machines. cheers
Thanks for the video. I've been pondering design details for making one for my south bend 9" as well and this gave me some good ideas. Between this and the adapter hubs I'm making for my surface grinder you've been a great help
Hi, glad to have been of help. cheers
Loved it. You are an ingenious man, and no mistake! But that’s what you’d expect of an engineer… might even try for a tiny imitation of this for my tiny little lathe. All the best with the move, hope you have plenty of room for your machines, and for Mrs Shed-Dweller (you don’t really keep her in the shed, do you?). Les in Chester
If you lathe is really tiny I'd suggest just a V cut in the face of the follower directly opposite the cutting tool might well be both easier to make and a bit more versatile - cut down the parts list, less stuff in your way as you fiddle around and thanks to a V cut it should provide reasonable support to work of a wide range of diameter in multiple directions from the one pin. (As a small lathe isn't ever turning bigger stuff that single V cut can probably do all sizes of workpiece that will fit in the lathe well enough)
Hi, great on hind sight I would make the two adjustable surfaces much thicker. regards
What mill have you got Warco ?

Thank you very much.
Very well done, sir... but dafuq is a 3/8-14 bolt? Never heard of that. Is that some 'weird' British thread standard?
I believe its a 3/8"UNC, regards
@@Thesheddweller A 3/8 UNC should be 16 tpi. A UNF is 24 tpi. That's why 3/8-14 has thrown me for a loop. I even looked up the BA threads and nothing matched.
Err. I'll have to check what bolts I bought, it might be that they are 16 TPI and I've incorrectly marked up my notes. thanks for letting me know. If i keep quiet may be no one else will notice. maybe not. I'll have to do an edit and re publish it. It won't be just yet because I'm busy trying to prep my property for sale. cheers
👍👍😎👍👍
Hi, cheers
Just for UK viewers, we call it a travelling steady.
Hi, true, but for some really silly reason I've always called it a following steady/rest. regards
@@Thesheddweller US influence probably. Good work anyway.👍
