Ed,
You've probably already checked, but when a jaw is that far out on the chuck, always make sure to check for at least one full tooth engagement on the scroll. If not, it could become a projectile.

Tom,
Thanks for the tip. I'll check that before I start machining the parts.

Edit: checked and a good 2/3s of the jaw is in the scroll so good to go.
That's a good point - you also have to avoid overtightening and breaking teeth, even the opposite jaw could exert too much pressure. Grip on the sides.
I got some work done on the handles. Getting there slow but sure.

Slow is better, less pressure. Lookjin good Ed.

Looking good Ed.
Are you going to use a rotary table, corner rounding end mills, or the belt sander to round the ends?

Tom,
I think I'm going to use the rotary table. I haven't used it in awhile so it's time to get some use out of it.

Looking good Ed. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day (although I have visited some cities that look like they were
)
Nice smooth transition from the radius to the tapered sides.
