hi all last bit i stuck on the top to the tool holder and spotted the holes for the m2 cap heads  then tapped them once this was dun i mawnted me angel bracket to me Cross slide then clamp me tool holder to it for milling out of the 3mm slot  by 2.5 mm deep for the cutting tool SOS no pics of that bit i then put the top back on and put a angel on the tool holder i then cut a length of the 3mm tool steel for the cutting tool and put a cutting face on it then i made the handle me handle goes on to the tool holder and not the rotating body as i cud see their may be a safety issue this handle ma be permanent or thrown in the bin a length of m6 threaded rod a dried up felt tip pen and a ball the inner diameter of the pen was bigger than 6mm and the ball had a m8 thread in so i mixed up sum epoxy glued the 6mm rod in to the ball and then put the remainder of the epoxy in to the pen which i left standing strata up once the epoxy had gone hard i drilled it out 6.1 then put it on to the rod then cut the threaded rod to length then fitted it and wile me first ball is not spot on i think its OK right pics

Great stuff, it'll be on my list of things to do. Now you'll have to make a ball instead of the orange one!
