Another half a day day spent in the shed today, 

I managed to face the square bar that will be the cylinder to it's final length, I think I'll file some chamfers on two of the corners once I've bored the holes etc..  Some photos; 



Finished product:



After that, I topped the flywheel using a drive from friction:





Finished product, I still need to machine the flywheel indents. 



Lastly, I faced the base and centre drilled. I haven't yet figured out how I'll top it though!




That's all for today, more tommorow. 

Brass_Machine:
nice work!

Nicely done, with the square bar in a three jaw chuck.......  :clap:

The base. Can't you top it using friction drive? Same as the flywheel......  :thumbup:

Hello Ross,

May I know what is the black disc between the flywheel and the chuck jaws in the pics showing the driving by fraction?

I've 2 x 12mm thick disc to turn and would like to use the same method you have shown.

Regards,
Wong
