Looking great, I like the design for securing the spindle not seen it done like that before, I agree that your work is on par.

Look forward to seeing the lathe work, will you be video'iiinngg it as you machine it?

Thanks all, and thanks Lee. The clamps only hold the spindle to the back of bore, so it is not all round support, but should be good enough. As an upgrade if I make a new spindle this will mount via the lower flange to the base of the spindle block, which is arguably a bit stiffer. The tapped holes and counter bore area are already machined so it will just drop straight in.

I've not done fly/line boring before so am learning as I go. May video it, see how it goes. Will have a lot to think about to avoid crashing the lathe.

If fly/line boring is new to anyone I'll post a few pictures up soon to show how I'm going to approach it.
