Hi
Lads
I am going to build a dividing head
As described in
The Amateur's Lathe
by
L.H.Sparey

I will be doing some video as I well
Made a start on the pattern for the base
This is slightly larger than the one on the book as my Boxford has a higher centre height ,than the Myford 7 it was originally built for

Just got through watching part 2. Very interesting. I plan on paying very close attention.
John, the wax stuff you use to make fillets with. If you don't mine me asking, what's it called?
If it's crazy but it works, it's not crazy.
