Yes, Coming along nicely. 

I'm grateful for the idea and encouragement.  After a little tweeking, the two major parts fit together well (the margine for error was zero).  Now awaiting arrival of left hand tap and die for the wheel shaft, and need to work on some other finishing parts.   Ralph

Thanks Gents.  A little more progress.  Turned the knobs and fit the blade and lever cap.   Ralph

Got the wheel threads cut today, installed the wheel (it fit and works perfectly), and I think it's finished - if anything ever really is.  May need to replace some of the damaged hardware and oil and polish it up well and etc.  etc.   Ralph

Remember this one from page 5 (several weeks ago)?








Finally got around to finishing it.   Ralph

Ralph, as usual, wonderful work. You get more work done in a day than I get done in a week!

Thanks John.  Actually, this one has been on the back burner for a month or so.  And, now and then, I post a piece made years ago and recently rediscovered among my old stuff and dusted off for show.   Ralph

I'll give Ralph time to choose his own, but if not- A title will be bestowed on him.

Thanks Gentlemen.   You may call me anything that is fitting - just don't call me late for dinner.  I had meant to post a comparative scale pic of the 112.
