I have stated many times that I do not claim to be an engineer or machinist. Now if you wanted something blown up or destroyed in many clever ways, being an old retired Marine I'm your guy. I was checking the lathe over for things getting loose as I do now and then, and noticed the pulley on the headstock was getting a little loose. So, I get my handy dandy little allen wrench out and proceed to tighten the set screws. And of course being the somewhat heavy handed individual that I am, I tightened one too tight and it snapped part of the outer part of the pulley off. Nice words flowed until I realized I had a spare pulley so all was going to be fine. Yeah, right. Then I discovered I needed a set of snap ring pliers that have the tips at a sharp angle to undo the one holding the back of the pulley in place. Of course I don't have any other those. So, I have to wait until tomorrow to get a set. Guess I wanted to goof off today after all. So, now I am boring my dog who wishes I would find something else to do. I thought I would show you guys and gals Rosco's photo on the small couch.
