Nice video Chris!

Anyone else impressed by Chris's lathe? Makes mine look like a caveman's tool.

Thank you.

I do like my lathe, It started out as a fairly basic Super7 but I have modified it somewhat to make it more suitable and efficient for pipe making.

If we all chip in 5 quid, will you buy a new pair of pants? I reckon there's homeless people that look at you and think "That poor bastard."

I mill it down to 6mm, it saves me time when it comes to roughing out the button and gives me a known line to work to.
