Yeah!......I got something done on the Wallaby!....

It's only part of one part....the tappet guide....but I turned it, and used my new die holder to thread it 3/8-40 , and drilled and reamed it...and Samantha Bell did very well.

The tailstock is not ejecting...I'll sort that....I need a saddle indicator stop..., and I can't stand going for a wrench to lock the saddle...so I'll do the same mod I did for my Logan with a small lever...

Using the die holder is really nice with the VFD...I can crawl right up to the shoulder at very slow speeds and stop right where I want.

Happy Chappy!

Old Pal, I'm with Steve. Glad to see you making parts on your labor of love, Samantha Belle. "Only One Part", that's all an engine is; parts, and now you've got one less to make. Just keep on making them parts and before you know it you will have to assemble it.

Thanks guys...not to say I won't have a bout of attachment making or two....but so far I really like SB. 

She doesn't hog stock off...but seems nice to twiddle with little parts....which was the goal...

3 more tappet guide blanks and I can start the next OP on these parts.
