Making a Better Machinist's Screw Jack

Support my work on Patreon:   / herschtoolroom  

For today's project we will get started on making a custom machinist's screw jack.
I wasn't 100% happy with how my commercial screw jack worked, so I thought that I'd try my own design.
This project requires turning, drilling, boring, tapping, and knurling.
If you'd like to follow along, drawings for this project are available on my Patreon.
If you have any questions, criticisms, or suggestions, leave a comment!
