91: Close enough
90: Transfering the shape
89: All disassembled and cleaned.
88: Looking at this old broach set - I can use it to make the indicator joint.
87: Need to make a new joint now.

94: After
95: Checking micrometer anvil with sodium lamp
96: All cleaned - ready to paint - but can't find the paint

98: PAV thread mic The base anvil locking screw. Similar to a bridgeport quill lock snug.
99: Starrett sytle twin-slit-snug joint You can see a tapered bit where the snugs mate here - which tightens first - the slits of the piviot?
100: Starrett sytle twin-slit-snug joint
101: Starrett bits OK - on the top - the cone bit has a V-block like bit to hold the horizontal indicator rod. On the bottom - a main post keyway-snug The bit to hold the horizontal rod is not a cone - I think uses a sleave?
