You certainly don't hang about. :clap: :clap: :clap: Shows me up - I tend to over-think my projects. 'Sometimes I sits and thinks but sometimes I just sits.' :scratch: :Doh: :scratch: :Doh: :scratch: :Doh: I don't mean to be a smart-a**e but one thing puzzled me though - considering how ingenious and productive you are with wood, why didn't you think to make a wooden fixed steady? It would have avoided a wait and would have been durable enough to sort out your spindle problem. --- End quote --- I feel I over-thnunk the steady rest thing myself. I realised I could've scraped it right from the start, but I guess I didn't want to accept that the lathe thing wasn't working. The bought steady rest was an improvement but I think the remaining innacuracy was probably caused by the bar not so much as pivoting at the 4 jaw chuck to line up with the rest, but flexing. I did chuck it with a thin aluminium ring to help it pivot but it was still too much. I'm not sure if wood would be able to survive the strain. It'd probably flex a bit at least. Plus all the oil and lubricant might not do the wood any good. For £20 I figured it was worth saving myself the hassle of sorting out the inevitable teething problems if I'd tried to make my own. |

I always like when people end their videos with a gag or something novel. Like John's outtakes. It wasn't the best of ideas and ruined a perfectly good board of pine plywood, but I guess it's better than nothing. |
