      Hi Jon
                  Your headstock cover has turned out good.
                                                                                            Well done
                                                                                                                 Cheers David

Jon, what lathe is it? And did you cast your own pulley (upper left)?

Jonfb64:
Hi Steve,

It's an Acorn which is a British clone of an Atlas 10f. Plenty of picks on lathes.co.uk. The pulley on the left is home cast as well  and just like you I started with Dave Gingery's brilliant books and built his lathe. I have a half built shaper under the bench which I have to finish. I've been distracted for the past few years and not done much serious casting but now I'm back and going to finish.

Jon

Okay Jon, I thought so, and it's coming back to me  :bang: I think I once said we have a lot in common -- Craftsman 12" (Atlas) lathe, Gingery lathe, shaper I need to get working, casting, etc. You made a really great pattern, and fine thinwall casting, and your cutouts were pretty sweet, too!

Looking forward to more!! :beer:
