Materials purchased are the steel rod 8mm, two cutting wheels from Axminster tools, two 3mm metric counter screws from Euro fasteners.
The two knurled nut is shown and the 12mm brass bolt from the workshop. I am still not sure about these maybe I will use them, hmm, or try and source new but in steel. The timber is an offcut of Bali.
As the above possible materials, 8mm bar cut to 225mm and drilled with 3mm drill, + m3 tap
Below cutter end with 4mm shouldered flange, back end Screw storage, countersinking back end.
I decided to drill the back end of the 8mm rod as shown to add a spare screw holder, head screws get worn or lost so thought it would be a good idea to add this little extra.
Above back end with spare screw fitted, front end Cutter fitted, + completed rod 225mm.
well, that's the simple bits done, stayed tuned, feel free to leave any comment here, or on the forum thread. Martin
