I suggest not so much the blue gloves as a “trademark”, but rather expressions like “a penance in search of a sin” in a Kiwi accent. Maybe work some New Zealand expressions and slang into your videos that many of us will have to google to understand.

Looking amazing. Have you used your new face plate to check the cross slide alignment? It should ideally be very very slightly concave. I think i'd try and sort out a more rigid toolpost. I was very surprised you got such a good surface finish with that much stick out on a lantern style holder. I found with my old treadle lathe that my hss tools needed to be very sharp. After grinding they needed to be honed on a stone. I mention this as i suspect the gingery lathe suffers from the same rigidity issues mine did. Sharp well ground tools really made the world of difference to finish. My first tool holder was a block of aluminium with a hole for a bolt and a perpendicular hold for a hss cutter held in with two bolts. Worked a treat. Look forward to your next vid!

I'd be careful drilling out the centre. Drills will always make a hole slightly larger than their intended size. Might need a reamer to get it spot on. Then again might get away with it.

@jambusspeakermouse132525 күн бұрын
I'd recommend getting some cheap thrust bearings for the leadscrew so you can do the nuts up very tight and reduce backlash. That's just a nice upgrade for any lathe. Having a faceplate on there is going to allow you to do lots more accurate milling operations so good idea to do next. Have you checked the spindle along it's length using a dial indicator? Might be worth double checking the accuracy before moving on with faceplates etc as otherwise any error will be replicated in everything you make. When you do make the faceplate it will be important to check it isn't concave/convex. That too will reveal either misalignment in the headstock or cross slide. Love seeing the progress!
@HaveAGoAlan24 күн бұрын
Going to be checking the faceplate on the surface plate after I face it off, and then adjusting the cross slide as needed :)

This might sound like a bit of a back handed compliment. But although these videos don't have the production quality when it comes to video and editing of some of the bigger channels they really do make up for it in my opion due to how much more relatable they are. There's a few Gingery build video series out there, but this is the only one in a workshop that looks like mine, with tools that most of us have and show you suffering the sort of issues and frustrations that cause some of us to bench projects like this. I think it's this that has finally got me started on my own Gingery style lathe build a couple of weeks ago now after years of thinking about it. Also was good to gear that genuine excitment at the end! :)
