Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in.
In this video I am creating my own take on the optical center punch. The brass I used was recycled from old LPG tanks, water tanks and light fittings.
It's my first project on my new lathe, so I was learning as I was going.
Like all my videos, if you like what you see, please "LIKE", "SHARE", "COMMENT" and "SUBSCRIBE".
Thanks for watching and I hope you are enjoying the content I am creating.

    Thanks Seth, mind you, if I could actually hit a punch and keep it centered I wouldn’t need one. Ha ha. Alas, I can’t keep a hole centered to save myself. 🤣
