More wonderful stuff wm+
You make it all look and sound so easy...

Wonderful once again Sir! I think I'll have to leave my hat off, I've raised so many times to your skill!

Coming along beautifully WM+ looking forward to seeing this come together. Have been brainstorming about the tool rest and repeatable profiles, this is becoming an enjoyable puzzle.

Great stuff as usual.

Very nice wm+.

I've been looking forward to this......and what do I see in the first few images?

A Black and Decker Workmate! A Stanley wood plane and a saw with a wooden handle.


I've come over all nostalgic!


And full of anticipation for the next instalment.........

I've seen some home made lathes on you tube but this one looks as though its going to outshine all of them and looking wonderful

WM+ given my lack of success with chuck swapping and the fact that you seemed to have sourced the chuck here locally, is there any chance of telling me where? This may solve my own problem.

Hello MGs-I thought you might have a few problems swapping chucks from different drills.If the chuck jaws are visibly worn, it's usually time to say goodbye to them..
didn't realize that you were still looking for replacements though..

I usually buy most of my tooling needs from D.H.S.Tool Supplies in Plymouth (could be worth a call?), but by chance, saw some various Jacobs chucks, with keys, in the Tool Dept. at Trago Mills, Liskeard, some time ago, in their sales and snapped up a couple. I was looking for a Dremel mini chuck at the time-which they didn't have, but had different sizes of the larger chucks; female 3/8" & 1/2" UNF screw fitting and other smaller ones were Morse taper. I think they were about £12.50p?
Never realized that they were getting a bit difficult to source now. Try giving Trago a call and see if they have any left..

Is this link any good to you?
