Todays Project - What did you do today?

[f350ca]

Wish eBay was as easy up here. Very little listed in Canada and cross border shopping isn't what it should be with free trade.
Its been a good lathe Stan. Very heavily built, as you say holds tolerances well, would have no qualms buying another.
Finished up the block for the nuts. The one is a press fit with taped pins to lock it. The other end has two spring loaded pins that hold it from turning once you set the preload.
Think I have the shaft straightened enough to use with only the fixed nut to give some wiggle room. Its was bent in the middle and at the base of the thread so didn't try just shortening it.
