And for my final project of the day, I machined the back plate for the 4-jaw.
Took some doing as the register that was on it was about 7” in diameter vs the 3.125” of the new chuck. Did it in two passes; the first to establish the size of the register and the second pass to face the full diameter of the backplate up the the new register diameter.

Thanks Mike, appreciate it!Well done and done well.
Nice job getting it back up and running, it should serve you well for,,,,,,, I was going to say "a long long time" but your track record dictates otherwise. LOL
I’ll be keeping this one for a while.
Thanks!
If I can do it, anyone can!

My Sister and I got here on Saturday, her from Prince Rupert me from Calgary and were told Mom only had days left and not eating so we bought our tickets, on the way we are told she ate half her lunch so good news. So this trip is for family and relatives of the Osselton/Jewsbury Clan in the area.
We’re heading home tomorrow so I’ll say Hi next trip out.

I'd check if your lathe is level or bed warped. That cut doesn't look very parallel to me... But then when you stare up out of a rabbit hole things do look distorted.
It’s a 5 degree taper.

Delicate Scriber/Pick
It's not the most exciting tool in the box, but it definitely is the most used. Actually its kind of amazing how a simple little thing like this is so useful. From scribing mark out lines, to picking...

Those look great, it's nice having tools that don't just do the job, but look and feel good at the same time. Well done.
