You have been a busy chap..

Nice woods and nice closed end shape. Some of them just look a little "over turned" and can see a very little lip at the fittings end. apart from that they look superb.

Like Eamonn, especially in the last photo, the lower barrel doesn't look square to the fitting, but there is some lovely woods:thumbs:

Yeah you're right. I just measured my bushes and one is slightly smaller than the other. probably due to wear and tear. Time to order new ones.:thumbs:

Stephen use a caliper mate and if the bush is down or up allow for it in turning. I only rely on the kit on the lathe for measurement.
