I made a dial making fixture. It took a lot longer than one day though so more like what have you made in the last two weeks, lol.
Anyway I bought the plans from Doug Ross AKA Rossbotics. Great project. Made some mistakes though. Nothing catastrophic though but had to adapt a thing or two.
Here is a link of Mr Ross' fixture.

File size too large!

Today I finished up making some covers to go on my mill table for keeping chips out of the T-slots and have easier places to set things.

This morning I made some pads to put under the adjusters on my lathe bench. I leveled the bench and then shimmed the lathe front and back to take the twist out of the bed. I got it pretty close. I made a few test passes but ran out of time.

That doesnt look like an original tailstock. What is the monster behind the little lathe.?

 

[Chuck K]

The tail stock was missing when I got the lathe. That one is from a Boxford. The lathe lathe behind it is a Hendey.

My take on the grillgun. Still have a couple parts to make

I finished up the BXA tool holder rack I started last summer. I also turned a new tailstock clamp lever

My back splash is similar to yours. I've been thinking about making a lathe tool holder rack back there.
Great idea. Thanks
