That did it!
Per your suggestions, I am going to secure the bitter end every time I use it.
For L2R,
I am using a ten inch Grizzly lathe in my home shop and it is set to the lowest speed. I have owned it for about a year and had a different Grizzly before this one. I am getting pretty good at making tools, but I am not good enough with it yet to match speeds to job. But I am getting better.
For Slopemeno,
Your comments on polishing are very interesting. I wish I had the time to just apprentice myself to a local shop but two things work against it. My present position takes up a alot of time and most shops don't think of a 60 year old as an apprentice. Now that I think of it, there is a new gun shop opening up just around the corner from me. They are advertising gunsmith services. I wonder if they would mind me looking over their shoulder.
To all of you.....Thanks greatly for your responses. Very useful and helpful.
