No matter how many tools you have you never have enough.
Back for a short time on the plasma table. Set up the lathe and made some #2 morse taper blanks, need one to hold the blanks to make pinions and timing belt pulleys (I know I should just buy them but thats metal buying not working). Got the blanks made then put the #7 -#5 cross over in the headstock followed by the #5 - #2 crossover to hold one of the blacks to finish the arbour. Got it cut down then turned to .250 to hold the blanks, went to drill the end for a screw to hold the blank when I realized the crossover to hold the drill chuck in the tailstock was in the headstock.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
