I thought I'd show you the steps it takes to do a simple hub for a lime spreader. It's nice for those who aren't used to getting something made to see the tooling and time that goes into fabricating a part. Enjoy! :D

nice work paul.
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.

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.

The blocks you see in the milling machine vise is called "V Blocks" they are a matched set and also come with there own clamps. Very handy for that type of work. They come in many different sizes as well. Thanks for commenting. Paul
