Thanks guys - I thought that I had posted a build thread on this but a search of the welding and casting proved otherwise. If you would like I can put together a post.

No drawings needed Ed, unless you are using AmishCad. This is a classic make it up as you go along project!

Hi and thanks Kenny , 

Yes still working unfortunately ,still got 20 years to do (just a young lad )  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I am a florist LOL ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, narh just joking  at present  I repair material handling and access equipment , forklifts, cranes and cherry pickers that sort of gear . 

As for surface finish ,,,,,,,,,, anything from oh natural , plating , anodizing  and other oxide coatings   , I do like messing with electro chemistry and the tooling shown previous have just been used as test beds to see how things work/stand the test of time . Anyway way to big of a subject to be discussed in  this thread , maybe in a separate thread . 


   May as well add the instrument makers vices to the post ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,even though they have been seen before . Slaphead

Hard act to follow, but I will anyway.

Called a "nudger" by Bogstandard, who first posted it over on that other forum.  Made a set, thinking it was something to do, but I'd never use it.  Turns out, I use it almost every time I chuck something up in the lathe.  Makes getting parts running true much easier.

   
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts

Wow Rob! That taper attachment is really nice. I assume there was some welding involved in making it, correct?
Gorgeous as usual.

Here's the carriage stop I made for the lathe. I've got a Mark II in the works to fix some of the issues with this one though. This one will get relegated to holding a dial indicator once the Mark II is done.

Your a tough act to follow Rob
A tool post and height gauge I made. In my infinite wisdom its not standard sized so I have to make my own holders.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
