Ok I'll take a guess. Because the center of the round piece is threaded. The posts you machined are threaded. The connecting piece is a clutch? Or a pump?

I know you're not trying to be, but that is pretty impressive BB. Making stuff is pretty cool. I make things in the garage but not to any specs. Being a machinist is an art and science I believe.

Dang BB I dable a bit on my mill and lathe but it would take me a month of Sundays to machine that one rack. Dang last time I chucked anything up in a mill it took me 45 minutes to get it within .001.

I have used a point to point some and wrote code for them but you know the tech changes so fast that if you do not keep on top of it you loose it. So I just tinker around making useless stuff I will use someday

Like a clutch hub assembly thing?

Haha, great song! Fires have been contained to the woodburning stove. Hoping to brew another batch the next couple days, outside!!

Hey Bobbi how did your first AG batch go? I picked some grain and hops today and will probably be doing mine next weekend, I need to get a propane tank.

Well, I started it inside on the stove, but the weight of the bigger pot pushed the electric burner down into the stove and caught it on fire. The stove is okay though, except that one burner. Then I moved production outside, luckily I had plenty of propane. It went great! Did BIAB and it wasn't really any different than mini mashes I've done, just more grain and bigger equipment. I'll be starting another batch soon!
