Handy man's workshop and laboratory . Fig- 36—The treadle mechanism the underside, will do for holding the eye end of the connecting-rod, a hook being formed at the other end to slip over the HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY 33 EXTENSION FOR SPEED LATHE BEDS When it is desired to turn a piece of work which is longerthan the bed of your lathe the scheme illustrated in the accom-panying photograph will be found useful. Take two strips ofwood equal in width to the depth of the lathe bed, letting themextend out as far as desired. Screw a block the width of thelathe bed across the ends of the side strips, so as to hold the endfirm, and in alinement. Also screw two strips inside of the sidestrips at the closed end, of a length equal to the poppet head,leaving a slot of the same width as the slot in top of lathe bed. Fig- 37—Extension for speed lathes and flush with side strips, which will hold the poppet head inalinement with chuck. Screw a piece of bar iron across the side strips at the a hole in the center of the bar for a bolt which should runthrough same and also through a similar iron strip beneath lathebed parallel with upper strip. This will clamp the front end ofside strips firmly to the bed. Also fasten another strip near theend of the lathe bed and resting on bed to support the extensionand keep it in alinement with upper face of bed. A series ofholes may be drilled through the side strips so that a bolt maypass through same close to rear end of lathe bed which will 34 HANDY MANS WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY clamp the side strips rigidly to the sides of the lathe bed. Theconstruction makes it possible to draw out the extension to any-desired degree.
