I learned a couple tricks here, not least the ball center thing! (And a few choice words with a great accent  :) )
I have to work on that accent, though.

Looking forward to the next one!

I was pleased to see those ball centres. I'd heard about offsetting the tailstock to turn tapers but must've missed the part about using ball centres, so I couldn't get my head around how it was supposed to work using regular ones.

Great video as always.

Another great production John.

How are you using the threading dial on an imperial lathe to cut a 2mm thread?

Hi
I normally reverse the lathe for metric
But for some reason 2 and 4 mill pitch work fine with the thread dial indicator

John as usual I learnt more stuff.  :nrocks: It seems though that your workshop sound system has the same recordings as mine and if I could find it I would change the record. Seriously though I like the straight forward way you do things and react the same as most when it goes skew whiff. Probably why I learn a lot from you....thanks heaps

Another informative video John. It is so much more helpful for beginners like me to actually see someone doing a particular job instead of reading it in a book.

Great video! Really enjoyed that one -- particularly using the ball bearings, making a polishing taper from scratch, using a zip tie as a lace, and really good reminder to keep checking the pressure on the tailstock! I'd like to make a polisher, too, so this one is right on the mark for me. Thanks again for your videos, John.  :thumbup:
I love it when a Plan B comes together!
