G'day Mr Nik, If you get the chance Knipex sell pliers with a soft jaw. A very hand piece of kit. Anyway a great video. Thanks for sharing and I'll see you in next week's adventure. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

Very nice work sir

Great job nik, great video, keep'um coming..

Hi Nik, The green lathe you started this project on, is it a Colchester made in England? I worked a Colchester exactly the same during my apprenticeship with all the same levers etc in the same places except the start lever was the one on the front with a red knob but it looks like you have converted to a button start. Cheers Ian

WOW- I'm assuming your customer sent you a box of those little slugs thinking he was saving money by cutting them himself. Working off a piece of bar stock you could have probably made 3 at a time with no change of setup.
