Cincinnati Shaper

[dallen]

the misalignment I'm hoping to fix by sliding the pulley on the tanny out and if I have to I can cut the hub down some on the inside, thing that scares me there is the hot tears which may only skin deep, but cutting the hub back shortens the gussets contact with it on the inside and I'm not sure that the thing will stay together, the original only had 4 but it was iron too.

Just have to wait and see, still have to broach a keyway in it, and drill it for a setscrew, I was able to get wicks in the oil galleys on this shaft still have to pull the other shaft and install some in them, some idiot pulled out the ones that were in it instead of soaking them with kerosene or something.

still have to put a keyway in it but no broach on hand have to go to town in the morning see if I can get one, vise isn't big enough to do it in the shaper and I don't have enough hardware to clamp it to the table with.

anyway for your amusement

Mike thanks, for a real pattern maker this would of been a walk in the outback, but for someone that has never really worked with wood and has a very limited assortment of woodworking tools to work with it was a pretty damn big achievement to pull off I think, anyway I'm damn proud of the way it turned out. Anyway after looking at it I think I may redo the one thats one the tranny as its in pretty bad shape (made from paper) I will post what I do about it.

Anyway I still have a few things left to do to the ole gal, but to tell the truth it actually cuts pretty good, would do better with someone that knew how to set it up, but its pretty neat to fire it up and watch it peel off steel curls thick as a kitchen match.

in a fit of stupidity last night about 3 AM I parted this off the shaft that I had in the lathe as an arbor to put the pulley on, this morning I had to turn another one luckily there was enough of the shaft left to turn the end back down to size. I guess one of the reasons for me doing what I did was that I was going to make a broaching bushing out of this.



this photo although a little exaggerated show's the offset caused by me not thinking about what I was doing. the hub on the inside only needed to be about a 1/4 inch thick.


this shows what I did to fix it so that it would work. I put it back in the lathe and turned off over a half inch of he hub plus cut the gussets back so that they would not hit the shaper column.

As a woodworker Dave, I make a good welder...as a welder I make a good woodworker , soooooooo I struggle with both but I just keep trying

Up at 03-00 and doing lath work, you keep odd hour Dave, I'm assuming you have problems sleeping

that and a little shop monster that likes to take a midnight walk in the dark, so I occupied myself while he was out trolling in the wet grass.

Awesome Dave! I just watched all the videos you have posted on this project and I am impressed!

Great as usual Dave, your able to do a lot with a few of the right tools. I can't imagine what it would have cost to have the made at a machine shop. You've got the video thing figured out, I have a time trying to edit a video and get it to post.

Who's the old guy!!

scavenger you said you were going to watch this so you could make a pattern for a flat belt, this is how I did it, only thing I can tell you is to measure twice then recheck it or your apt to end up like i did with way too much hub on the inside.

But it was fun to build, granted at times I wished I hadn't of started it. But I like the results.

Jammer thanks for kicking my butt and having me post this over here. the other place I posted it at it's in about 8 or 9 different threads here its all one thread. your right I did a lot with not very many wood tools, but a good miter saw will do wonders with making pattern pieces BUT you gotta watch the digits and make sure of where there at, at all times.

The video editing junk I use windows movie maker, I'm sure that theres others for free that cost less and that cost more, and that are easy to use and ones that are harder then all get out to use. the problem with WMM is learning the menus and that it just takes time, and to always save your stuff before going to bed while it uploads to your favorite hosting service.

The old guy he shows up everynow and then when I'm not looking and tries to take over whatever it is that I'm messing with.
