I have had my PMR fitting kit ordered from ministeam for a couple days now, and want to make a fixture (for machining) to hold the 90 deg fittings tonight after work...looking the fittings over and taking some measurements, I suddenly realized they did not send my Globe valve kit! I am usually real good at taking inventory of a shipment...a quick call to Susanne at ministeam, she said she had my Globe valve on her desk with a note...she knew she had shorted someone as it was on the ship table after everything left...but she had no idea who...said she was expecting a call...Lol! 
My globe valve kit should be in the mail today.
Let me know how you do on the globe valve build Ben , I believe that one is above my current skill set. 
Will do! My last place of employment had 7 lathes and 3 of them where Collet lathes. I will not even attempt the Globe valve kits until I have access to collet type lathe. I have informed my current employer they Need a collet lathe, a 3 jaw chuck is not prefured for this type of work...I have a bid in for a old bench collet lathe in great shape, always wanted one for home use. I will snap some photos of my setups when I do machine them...there Are some tricks to making that long center stem and the tiny threads!
