Hi Jon it’s great to see you have got to grips with the machining side of the hobby. It comes in really handy when parts are needed. Great thread Jon.

Thanks Kevin, it's taken a lot of research, and often patience from my teachers, but there is good information out on the web. With practice and more importantly knowledge of work holding and tooling, everything can be made on a lathe, it can even make itself. In a fashion anyhow, obviously it finds casting itself difficult😉
