Thanks Bill.

Half way there Eric.  I chucked up a piece of mystery metal, turned and threaded it 0-80.  It was then slotted with a .014 slitting saw.  Next it was cut to length and threaded into a bar with a 0-80 hole in the lathe so the nose could be rounded over.  A file was used to form the radius.

The nut is next on the agenda.

This way if the engine doesn't run, it will at least look nice as a static model.

Not defeated at all Don.  I'm definitely not the surrender type.  I usually "crank it up a notch" when things don't go right and keep trying.

Thanks guys.  I did not use a microscope.  I tried to use a magnifying glass but I couldn't get use to my depth perception being different.  My vision up close isn't as good as it use to be; luckily, I can still see enough detail to get by.  I'm not raising any bar.  The bar was set by George and is wayout of my reach.

Hi Bob,
I've been using a headband magnifier for years. Even if you can see a part it just makes it so much easier to work on the details. I use the strongest lens which doesn't give much depth of field but it works fine.

I can't do anything small in the shop without my Optivisor.    Love it.

George and Dave, can that type of magnifier be used with eyeglasses?  If not, can each eye be adjusted to balance the lens?

I use an optivisor too, fits over my glasses just fine. It has a headband to hold it, and it pivots down in front of your glasses. Not sure how many models they have, mine has interchangeable lenses for different magnifications. Very handy.
