| Building a New Lathe |

The base after turning. There's a land near the outer edge that the top slide rides on, the inner part is relieved. Finish isn't perfect, as the insert wasn't ideal, and the slight regular groove pattern inside probably is a result of hand cranking -- I probably need to tighten cross slide gibs. But still, pretty good considering a first trial of a newly built lathe in a difficult material and shape. :med: |
