Interesting Lock

i like it , but keeping it aligned around here would be a permanent job for me with much foul langage involved 

 

oh , and it would require a wing nut

Anyone care to take a crack at this straight line?

with my limited ability at machining i could never mill that bolt to the tolerances demonstrated , with my current arthritis and Reynolds effects i could never hope to operate this latch with a standard nut , the wings would allow it and i use them extensively on myreloading table as well as my shop equipment , i can get a pair of pliars onto it and cinch it down , nothing good happens in the reloading room when something comes loose 

 

ill admit i might have missed a neuance here that you are looking at but its late and im tired

Pretty sure it already has one…the operator.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP, YOU WINGNUT!

It looks more like bandsaw than mill work.  It would be a bit of a pain in the butt to get it held level to feed into the blade, and a steady hand to keep it straight, but it's just two short cuts.  From the head for about the width of the blade, then the cross cut to separate the parts.

Nice lock until you loose the key!

Why can't I open this?

Would minor alignment issues be handled better if the short part were ground conical for the first two or three threads?

lookrf yo mr yo br gitted far better than band saw cut but again im not that great of a machinist

OK, you convinced me! 

Seriously though, a proper sharp blace,the bolt firmly supported, fed in slowly and with a guide, then the parts filed and sanded, and you can get that finish.  The gap looks about right for a narrow blade.  For it to be milled, you would need two bolts and somehow match up the treads to the pieces.

That was one of my father’s favorite “Dad jokes”. 
That and “What color was the Bear’s fur?”

Dad could have dinner guests literally rolling on the floor with jokes.  Though jokes are out these days, ex. among friends, I remember many, but not Bear's fur.  Drop the hammer, please!

i forget what i was sayin there , obviously my typing finger was out of sync with the keys tho , im sure i could figure it out but i think i just wanted to say i couldnt do it with a band saw ,

Which you did by illustration rather than verbiage. 

 

The message came through. 

 

Seriously,  I thought it was intentional.

I’m fairly certain I’ve posted this somewhere in the distant past.

 

What color was the Bear’s Fur?

 

A hunter went out in very rough country to harvest a bear. After spending most of the day searching in vain, the hunter was exhausted. Practically dragging his rifle the hunter crested a rise and came face to face with a huge bear. He was so startled that he turned about and ran due North. The bear was so startled that instead of pursuing the hunter he ran due West. The hunter realized that he was not being chased, stopped, raised his rifle and shot due South killing the bear.

 

What color was the bears fur?

 

 

 

White of course. The hunter and bear came face to face just a little south of the North Pole. The hunter ran North and stopped at the exact North Pole. From the North Pole every direction is South. Therefore, it was a Polar Bear the hunter shot, whose fur would be white.

Well that was strange, it posted twice in the same message.

wish i was that clever at this time of night , thanks for getting it tho , 

 

actually my father started out as a machinist before the war - after enlisting ended up an electrician and left gunner on a boeing B29 , after the war became a mechanical engineer , he did teach me to run a number of milling machines and other tooling as well as a band saw , but i never had the aptitude , 

he was OK with me becoming an architect although he wanted me to be an engineer , partly got his way when i became an architect/general contractor in the end ,

 Two self locking nuts can be used for alignment. Use a piece of all thread long enough that it will be in good contact with the bandsaw’s table and fence. Do the longitudinal cut first and then make the perpendicular cut. Lastly cut to length. 
 

 Easy peasy.

my first look missed the saw kerf , i was thinking we had to mill two bllts that melded together after cut , but in relooking i do see the cu\\kerf
