I bought the lathe several years ago to build a large motorised telescope and since i got it I love it and probably should have got one when I was a teenager, otherwise I'm adept at old school make do with what tools you got. As long as you can get the job done that's all that counts.

Plates look good I havd heard flaring the downcommer can help it flow better...may be worth looking at if you have any flooding issues :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Some good looking work there.
I love the lathe attachments :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Its a slow painful process doing all them caps but it is bloody rewarding when their done.

Keep up the good work.
