It was around the four hour mark for that part building it from scratch and to the exact measurements of the old one. Glad to hear you enjoyed seeing it. It's nothing ground breaking but it gives a guy an idea of what has to go into building even a simple part.
Thanks Rob. I appreciate your kind comments but I'm more tired this evening than I am proud. Today I repaired a full size GM truck, Machined that hub and machined some Teflon plugs for an egg grading station, repaired a banjo. Yes a banjo and did some aluminum tig welding. It's been a 15 hour day. Thanks again for you nice comments.Thats nice work sir,
I would love a workshop like yours, it a real gem and its so tidy, its work like yours and a workshop like that which is a real reflection of the person doing the job etc, you should be proud of yourself....

Carl I used the welding positioner to help turn the part. You have to have everything set up perfectly to get it right. The speed on the positioner and the welding machine must be 100% right. I used a Millermatic 350P and used the pulse spray method to apply the welding.I like the fixing of the tube in the vise with that prism blocks!!
Looks like I have just add something to my shopping list...

ps: Have you welded it with the help of that wheel-machine, to get that nice welding?
