• Measuring the bolt head for length before parting off. I always use the first item made as the template for others. Probably an unorthodox method and trained engineers maybe raising their eyebrows, but it works for me and I suppose being untrained gives me freedom to just do what works for me -
  
  That's exactly the right way to do it Jim to avoid cumulative error creeping in - your thinking processes are dead on the mark!

• Drill and tapped the wood plinth... I like that idea.
  
  A lot of time on the parting tool in this project.
  
  Nice work Jim.

• With the outside pulley I used both ali and brass to make it so as to use up lots of accumulated nubs of metal that I have accumulated since lathe ownership. I think the two metal looks good together and I have to make two more yet. I was happy when I pushed the roller bearings in and then the axle in and it all ran true.
