After building a couple of very small simple runners, it is time I tried something a bit more challenging. For my next project, which I will document here, I am going to build the Brian Rupnows Improved Hit and Miss as described here on HMEM. There are a lot of ways to build something, I am sure, and you will find that I am not a machinist so I do not always do things in the proper or more conventional ways of a machinist. My approach will always be to do what ever I can to make a part that works for the applications it is used in. The bottom line, I am here to build, enjoy, and share with others.
The very first step, find the center of a round piece of aluminum and start the governor flywheel.
Next take a couple of passes off the top of piece to level the surface.
Now time to pocket out the center of the flywheel and make the hub.
That operations is now done and it will now fit in my lathe for further machining.
Mount it in the lathe chuck and get ready to finish the perimeter and other side.
