3" dog ear Clevis pin

made out of 1045 round bar
this is how I made a 3" diameter 6" long dog eared clevises pin
first, I turned the bar down to 3"-003"n and cut it to length

then laid out the dog ear

Attachment 45496
I will do nearly anything to keep from having to change from 3 jaw to 4 jaw or vice versa My lathe has the short nose spindle so the chucks are held on with bolts and a real pain to change

Attachment 45498
next to drill the 1 3/16" hole
Attachment 45499
Even had a chance to use one of my new reamers
Attachment 45500
I pressed the ear onto the pin

Then since there is a thickness issue between the 3" pin and the 1/2" ear to insure proper weld fusion it is always best to pre heat very thick metals before welding

First pass

Needle scaled the flux off between passes waited a minute between passes
