Workholding on the lathe

[Wongster]

Dave,

The sketches I made were worst than those of my younger daughter... Lolz...

I do like to create visuals in my mind; step by step instructions to guide me. I would replay the process till it sinks in. For machining, there are still many areas I'm not familiar with. Therefore, pics like what Bob posted helps. The computer sketch that Ed did provide more clarity.

Thanks to you folks that I've quite a good idea of what I need to do. Next is to see if I can execute them, especially the internal taper.

Regards,
Wong
