Hi Everyone,

I have just recently picked up a sherline lathe and mill, this sparked a memory with my mum that at school she made an adjustable spanner. I thought this could be a good learning project for me and a cool gift for her. I am struggling to find and plans or instructions.

I have found this http://www.practicalstudent.com/subjects/metalwork/projects/pages/adjustablespanner.shtml but dont really like the look of it and much prefer this

But cannot find any plans.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks
 
I'm sorry if this is uncalled for but anyone who wants to operate a lathe and a miller and owns the same surely does not need plans for a project like that pictured

Hi Buzzby,
That brings back memories for me. I did an engineering apprenticeship in the early 80's and that was one of our first projects as part of the fitting/non-machining course. The only part that you need a machine for is the knurled nut. The rest was made using hand tools only and I still have mine.

If you're looking for a first project with a lathe and mill what about a pair of toolmaker's clamps?
