Finally made my tail stock die holder!

[Syzygy]

It's done! I had a few issues on the way a probably pushed the lathe to it's upper limits and possibly beyond! I had problems sourcing a good knurling tool
and in the end had to make do with a single wheel? It seemed to do the job alright, I made mistakes on the way but overall I'm pleased with the result.
I thoroughly enjuoyed myself, and look forward to the next project. The knurling went okay and I was able to identify my mistake which can be seen at the die end.
I didn't turn this to the same diameter as the rest of the holder hence the reason why the knurling pattern went a bit
Tell me what you think!

For a first attempt I think you did well. Nice one.

Thanks Dave..

You made a functional tool with an almost impossibly small lathe that most of us would have not completed. Don't sweat the knurling. It'll do just fine.

Admire your skill mate especially the knurling is well clear of the screws that chew skin in use if you are not careful, smaller wcrews help that in use are flush..
