Aww.... geez, isn't my list long enough? :P Now I have to make a cylinder square too. ;)

How about upgrading your lathe with a longer bed, Eric? :poke:
(he said eyeballing his own lathe project peering out from beneath a concrete trowel, paint cans, welding gloves, pieces of kitchen cabinet wood, a defunct sparkplug from the a log winch, and a broken muffler. The detritus of an ill spent summer....)

Ah but I have. The lathe works, although I still need to do some stuff to it. I have a replacement spindle, extended cross slide and the stuff to do tapered gibs on it.
I plan to do work on it before winter. My plan is to get the lather done and the CNC mill on its way.

I also would like to make one of these one day, but still need to learn a lot. Since you said "easy to do", could you explain how you would go about? ()
Also what material, practical sizes etc?
Thanks,
Peter

A cylindrical square is easily made from some thick walled tube. I just carefully cleaned up the outside diameter and the bottom edge on the Lathe. The other end is then chamfered to indicate it's the top. Mine is about 30mm dia by about 75mm long. Wish I knew where I put it now ... :doh:
