Hi. Just like to advertise the fact that this you tube video link is on my post about the round windows.
Took a while to make it and ages to upload and am a bit surprised not many folk have picked it up.
Here is the link if you feel like watching it...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7rWSl0koQw
Cheers

A good video, and a couple of pretty useful tips as well. :2tsup:

That's the biggest faceplate I've seen so far.
I was surprised to see how well centred it all was before you started turning, too.

I don't think I'll be tackling anything that large for a long time, if ever. And definitely not on my current mini-lathe. :D

Good points you brought up about the risks when working inside; the collected shavings, overhead 'hazard' & working at the end of the rest.

For a while there I was wondering how you'd part off such a mass from the faceplate without it going for a spin out the shed door... but screws are a wonderful invention. :D
