Stop the Press!
For all intensive purposes, all the dowel's have been turned down. So, what else do I need the lathe for? THE STOPS! Even tough the Ruckpositiv will be blocking the entire keydesk area, that doesn't mean I skimp on the details. So, I designed a simple stop design in the computer and will attempt to lathe something similar for the model. Today, I tried three of them. The first two were done the same way, starting from the collet and moving away from it. The last one, I started away from the collet and moved toward it. The dowel size is 1/8" and it is turned down to 1/16".
In the end, I like the last one the best. Let's hope I can get them somewhat consistent. The keydesk area of the model is the very last part of this project that will brings everything together. So, I got A LOT of time until then. More will be posted about these stops as time goes by.
