Headspace / barrel tenon checking gage

[speedygonzalez]

MANY OF MY STUDENTS HAVE DIFFICULTY USING A DEPTH MIKE WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT ON THE INITIAL BARREL FITTING LABS. I MADE UP THE PRINTS SO THAT THEY CAN ALL MAKE THIS EASY TO USE AND READ FIXTURE FOR MEASURING AND TRANSFERRING HEADSPACE AND BARREL TENON/SHANK DIMENSIONS. I AM SURE THAT THERE ARE MANY NEW LATHE MEN OUT DOING THEIR OWN BARREL WORK THESE DAYS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM THIS LITTLE DEVICE.
I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS IT ON TO YOU AS WELL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE PRINTS OF THE PROJECTS THAT I HAVE MY STUDENTS BUILD LET ME KNOW AND I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET THEM POSTED FOR YA. THIS MIGHT KEEP YOU OUT OF YOUR WIVES HAIR OVER THE LONG WINTER MONTHS....LOL.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS,
SPEEDY GONZALEZ
