    Nicely done, Michel! The dials came out great. It's always admirable watching someone turn scrap into something beautiful. Really looking forward to the rest of this project... I think you'll end up with an amazing, functional piece of art for your shop.

    I'm right there with you on using scraps or cut offs for projects, if it's just a piece of scrap or a cut off I don't have to worry about ruining an expensive piece of material if I screw something up. Coming together beautifully 👍👍

    That engraving looks really good! When you're drilling sheet metal, one little trick to stop the drill grabbing or making a nasty burry hole is to put a small piece of cloth under the drill bit tip. The results are surprisingly good for such a simple trick.

    Nice work on the dials Michel. One thing that I learnt from Mark Presling when drilling thin material is to use a piece of rag when drilling the material. The rag stops the item being pulled up by the drill when the drill breaks through the material, and it help to drill a round hole.

    You made a very nice job of the dials Michel. I had to cut a circular plate of aluminium a while back. I fixed the plate to piece of wood with double sided tape, and held it against a faceplate on the lathe with a live centre. Then machined it to diameter. It worked ok. Cheers Nobby
