I thought that steering wheel looked Honda-ish. (I have a Honda Jazz(Fit) - thinking about adding something like this)

Nice work, thanks for showing :clap: :clap: :thumbup:

Jonny:
I want that 6 jaw chuck, been after one for 7 months.

Just one small problem, the gear sticks on the wrong side.

Bernd:
Nice job Will. :thumbup:

One question though, how do you now know were the the gears are without it being lettered? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

At least the Bison I have is definitely worth the wait. I got lucky that I bought it new on special, right before the price went up like 30-40%.

With mine I can mount work, do work, unmount, do something else, remount work and be off less than 0.001", and if I mark the piece before I remove and line up again with the same jaw, I am basically spot-on as before. At least for the projects that I do, I don't ever worry about the work being centered - the chuck is that good for the work I do (i.e., accurate enough for me).

Ahh - that is easy. I first drove the car for like two months with the factory shift knob, just so that I can memorize the pattern :)

In fact, I kind it find the whole pattern on top a "nice to have", but who really looks at it while shifting? :bugeye:
