Wonky Donky is trending

thank you so much Lorena......lets get together soon....

Thank You Don......got some interesting surfaces on the Bronze bushing pin.....these are from a Class 8 truck, but I have no idea where they are located, first time I saw one was back in 1973 while working on Tractor Trailers, I was making a hammer from a used one, and when the bit broke through the hole [5/8" ?], that 1960's era Black and Decker 20 million horse power drill motor about broke my freaking arm......I learned real fast to beware of those guys......it took another 40 years to learn about dubbing the drill lips for brass, bronze , copper or hard rubber.......have a great day, and give Chloe a kiss for me....Paul

Hi George, thanks for the nice comment....actually that is with an [Galaxy 11] 5 year old $100 phone.....it is amazing the quality I can get from it......I am really enjoying your lathe restoration.....thank you for sharing , Paul

well, that would be a solution, but with a 50 dollar cellphone the is 5 years old, I am somewhat limited in locking the focus in.....I can lock the exposure, but not the focus, thanks for commenting and watching the Pinball focus action........Paul
