Grab a lump of ally..
Bung it in the lathe and face the end off.
A bit of a trim down the side.
More metal removed, the black pen stuff was to help me get the right shape.. Or near enough..
Almost there now..
Parted off.
Then finished off... HHmmmm.. Shiny
To fit the knob thingy I had to drill yet another hole..
Tap a thread in it.
Ta Daaa... Almost.. Not sure about the thread showing..
A bit of ally tube soon had the looks sorted..
And finally fit the finished tool holder to the lathe..
I hope you all have enjoyed this little build, it was quite fun to make
Of course..... This build comes with a video
