Default Re: Ny-Lint Mobile Dragline Conversion

I got several pulleys and two rope drums turned on the lathe in the last day and a half. The first drum (the one I stuck in the cab for the picture) is going to be too long, so I turned a shorter one. I support the far end thru the cab and space them somehow.

I'm happy with the pulleys, I am going to need a couple more of them. They are tougher to do than the drums for me anyhow. I don't have any parting tool stock so parting them off is a pain. With the drums, I just start with a section of stock that is just oversized and then I can face it to length.
