Pictures of Boring Machine [was glue for hammers]

[Greg Newell]

John,

                Brilliant! I was just talking to Ray Negron at Ronson
Hammers the other day and he mentioned that he bores hammers with a
horizontal machine as well. His original set up was with a modified
Shopsmith  (www.shopsmith.com). He sold the machine and so couldn’t provide
pictures. I like your set up. Do you have plans drawn up? I’ve been unhappy
with the clamping set up on the machine I bought from Kent Galloway some
time ago. The angles were rather precise but that doesn’t mean much if you
can’t hold the hammer head steady while you drill it.

I have uploaded <http://pianomaker.co.uk/technical/boringmachine/>  pictures
of the boring machine I made in 1982 and which I use for boring hammer-heads
and all sorts of other things.
