Hi Kev. The micro lathe is tantalisingly close to being put through its paces. The micro tool post is perfect in shape and form. In all respects, such a beautiful build. Well done, and Happy Easter 🐣👍😀

Thanks Andrew Yes getting close now, always a pleasure to hear from you👍👍 atb Kev

Those tiny boring b Bars are amazing Kev. Ideal for enlarging the eyes in darning needles. Fantastic job on the toolpost locking lever. Cheers Nobby

Gday Kev, beautiful job on the tool post handle, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a boring bar that tiny before but I like your thought on building a Nano lathe, great job mate, cheers

Thanks 👍 Matty he's certainly got a sense of humour Chris!!! looks like i have to make a smaller lathe and get my eyes laser treated🤣 atb Kev

Just make sure you'll never drop these boring bars on the floor. It could well be you will never see them again :) And that's a cute little handle you made there.

Hi Kev. I have some micro boring bars similar sizes and they are super good for opening out small bushes etc on model engine builds. You need a simple mounting block for them. Cheers Rob

hi Matt yes the ball is bronze, i picked a bag full up from our track shop, think this was the last one i have left so thought i'd put it to use👍👍👍. thanks for the feedback👍👍 atb Kev

I found the boring bars very interesting. Seriously though, are those tinies for real? Could they be for clock or watch making? Thanks Kev, very enjoyable as always.

What ho Mr F, I told you they were too small for my use, hope you weren't insulted by my humour. They are only good as a bit of a talking point, coz they are llareggub use to we materials manipulators in the real world. The other two might come in handy though. Happy Ramadan, sorry, Easter. C

@@retromechanicalengineer that's what you get for being old.🤣 it may be small but I'm generous enough to share what I have.

Very nice touch and a lovely bit of jewelry for the little machine. I've been following along, just not commenting much. After 6months of not feeling very good I finally forced myself to get out in the garage recently. I have gotten my Smithy 3 In 1 machine set back up as a lathe again and actually did a test cut. Maybe now that Winter is set to go away I will get back out there more. Looking forward to your next installment.
