Pantogragh style tracing torch project

[Frank S]

A little time today to make some progress on my pattern torch
I had welded 1/2" thick ends to teh short pipe pieces then chucked them in the lathe and did a minimum clean up on them then with a 5/8 bit in the tail stock I drilled all the way through

then I used a " drill I drilled all the way through 1 part then on the second part I stopped about 1/8" short of going all the way through the reason for this will be explained latter

A few items for helping hands to hold the parts square to each other

the completed arm except for the ends that will eventually hold a drive motor and what ever torch I use
