Today I shall be Mainly...

[Stanley]

I'll consider that for the gaps between the flags in my front garden.....
I shall be in the shed first thing this morning doing useful things to my eccentric. After second sleep I will have a veggie cooking session. By the time I have finished that I shall have had quite enough honest endeavour and will sit down for a read of Private Eye.... I have been lax of late.
Later.... After setting out my meals for the day I realised I had more veggies left than I thought so I have postponed veggie cooking to tomorrow..... The better the day, the better the deed!

Small but accurate steps..... This morning I finished the eccentric. First I marked the PCD of the offset of the bore that fits on the shaft to give the eccentric its throw. Then a transfer to the pillar drill and I bored the eccentric out to 3/8". Next I set the eccentric up to drill for tapping for the 1/4" grub screw that will fasten the eccentric on the shaft. I hit a problem here in that I had to use a succession of taps before I got a good fit for the screw. My taps suffer from the same problem that I have, they are all getting worn and cutting undersize.... I persevered and in the end I got a fit. Now I am after my breakfast!
