Ryan,

Great work, well done. So good to see someone using limited resources to very good effect. As mentioned by others brilliant to see someone not scared to pick up a file and even better, using it to produce something flat and square! Also good to see someone not frightened to deviate from a drawing and find an alternative solution to make a part. Posts like this restore my faith that there are still a few people around who can just dig in and get on and make something of good quality without the luxury of tonnes of shiny equipment worrying about microns. More power to your elbow sir!

Really nice work Ryan.

I am almost exactly at this stage (the reversing arm for my Rob Roy). Does anybody have a picture of their reversing arm showing how the tiny spring is attached. The details on drawings and description appear to be a bit flimsy. Perhaps it is easier than I imagine?
