Looking for Ball Turning Plans

Be aware that you'll have to scale it to your lathe. The drawings attached to this post were for my 14x40 lathe.

The other attached file is a different design that I have no clue where it came from since all of these files were acquired 10 years ago. It's just another option for you.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ed. 
I definitely like the look of the one that uses the inserts. Don’t know if it’s out of my league or not. I would have to figure out how to cut the dovetails. 
But that’s definitely what I’m looking for!!
