Looks nice and shiny.
I made another stab at using carbide (brazed) on the lathe, it lasted about 2 seconds. Finish was lousy, I ran the spindle as fast as it would go, cutting steel. Scary fast. No kidding, it made my heart pound. Never saw a lathe as a source of excitement before.
I need to throw the brazed things away so they stop tempting me, and let the tool man pick something out. I'll want to spend $5, he'll want $500 and all the other endings to this story have me leaving empty handed... This time THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT!
