just emailed him thanks

They are fairly easy to make, do a search on here and HMEM + Steve Bedairs's 9x20 version should work if scaled down a little

John, I'm not sure that's the right one for Framey. His Clark 300M is a Seig C3 minilathe, and the description ends: "Note: This is not suitable for Sieg C3 (or similar) Mini Lathes due to insufficient clearance behind the spindle. A special C3 Mini Lathe version is also available."
The "special" version is the one shown just over halfway down this page, where it's called a radius turning attachment:

to be fair
1 i wouldnt be confident in my machines (bad workman always blames his tools) ability to be able to make somthing like this
2 i probably wouldnt use it often enough to spend the time making it
3 i definatly dont have the time to make one even though it would be a cool thing to make lol
thanks for the links
