That miner's lamp looks like a handy item to have handy in case you lose power. It gives out a nice amount of light plus the striker makes it easy to light.
Congratulations Bill, great job John on providing the prizes. Anyone used, or remember "Sticky Pin", ref picking up scribed lines on a mill? Great video, thanks for sharing.
@@dalemcinnes1834 Hi, a " Sticky Pin" is simply a sewing needle held in plasticine, or other slender sharp pointed item. A predecessor to a "Wiggler Point". To use it, you just stuck the plasticine holding the needle pointing down on the milling cutter or drill bit, start spindle, then use your thumbnail to centre the point, you now have a true running point. Advantages: no need to remove milling cutter, so quicker. Disadvantages: beware of applying to sharp cutters ( I can confirm blood is drawn), maybe use a steel flat surface, rather than a body part, ref nail. This is my understanding of a Sticky Pin, as it was shown and used by me during and well after my machine tool apprenticeship. Hope this helps.
@@bostedtap8399 I can see that it would work and be great for getting on the mark for scribed lines. I have never heard of it and I would like to see someone demonstrate it. You would have to somehow find the center of the end mill. Thanks for the reply. Dale in Canada 🇨🇦

Just done that dro mod to my Super 7. It’s transformed the ability of the lathe. A 1961 lathe now digital, happy days.
That’s definitely the biggest cotter pin I’ve ever seen!
That miner's lamp is quite the jewel! I might have to add something similar to my lantern collection.

UK plug tap = US bottoming tap
I like the miner's lamp. What type of DRO is mounting? I like the way that will be mounted.
I have some tapping blocks that I made in a milling machine but I have tapped holes to guide the taps.
Great video John, keep'um coming.
I need to do this on my Myford the old mount really limits tailstock travel 😀
Interesting content this Sunday afternoon. Like the lamp alot. Good work on the tool modification. Thanks for the look.
