Seems like the Hemingway kits are addictive. Nice work, Paul!

Just started this kit myself. I'm dreading that split bore and dovetails on my tiny mill! Great work.

[@PaulsGarageProjects]

Thanks! This kit was certainly a bit more involved than I was expecting. The split bore wasn't too bad, but the dovetails took ages on my mill.

Thanks for putting out this great video Paul. I will use it as a guide during my build. I bought a handful of their kits a couple months ago and have been enjoying working my way through them. As I was sitting down to start this build, I fired up your video and immediately discovered that my order was missing that bag of parts with the Oilite bushings and other assorted hardware. :( I reached out to them (on Friday evening (after closing hours) - and hope to hear from them tomorrow AM. If their reputation is accurate, I am sure they will take care of me.
I really wish they would use decimal units in their diagrams. I don't have them memorized, so I have to break out the calculator for every measurement. I hate to mark up these beautiful schematics with my terrible handwriting. - But, that's my Only complaint!

[@PaulsGarageProjects]

Many thanks! I usually take pictures of the plans, replace all of the measurements with metric, then print them out. Fair bit of work, but helps to avoid mistakes 👍

Turning a sphere is tricky AF. Anything that can help!

Boa sorte sempre!!!

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Thank you very much sir. Very nice work

[@PaulsGarageProjects]

Thanks Rusty! No trouble at all 👍

[@lukearam9812]

Is there a reason you decided on using a deburring tool on that first part after reaming that first hole?
I mean, you were already set up in the lathe, why not just turn a light chamfer instead?

[@PaulsGarageProjects]

Good point. Didn't really put much thought into it, just wanted to break the edge 👍

[@johnridgeway6718]

Are any plans available for this ?

[@PaulsGarageProjects]

There are plans available, but I think you have to buy the kit to get them. If you got in touch with Hemingway Kits, they may sell them separately.

[@johnridgeway6718]

@@PaulsGarageProjects Thank you

[@johnridgeway6718]

Found it. Thank you

[@JaenEngineering]

You mean to tell me the first test wasn't to make a metal ball to replace the plastic one that came with the kit 😅

[@PaulsGarageProjects]

It did cross my mind, but with the material I had on hand it would've turned out comically small!
