Getting the hang of this lathe lark! Thumbsup oh, yeah, it's pretty bloody quiet as well!

Looks good! Would be great to see it in action.

What are the blue plastic pieces?

Looks like Roy has been into his wife's hair curler stash. Big Grin

I'm wondering what material was used to make the other parts. Shiny!

Yep, hair curlers for the baffles(it's good enough for Weihrauch!), craft felt for the sound dampening, and it's made from aluminium bar and tube from ebay, grade  6063-T6/6082-T6 dunno which one though?

Polished to death with 'Autosol' metal polish. Smiley-eatdrink004

Cheers.

Thanks Roy. I wasn't sure if it was aluminium (aluminum) or a piece of hard chrome rod from a hydraulic cylinder. That is quite a polish job you did there. Smiley-eatdrink004

Cheers.
