Thanks, Dan, but I assure you that mistakes was the correct word. I've been blundering along in this hobby for what seems like a long time and am constantly learning from my mistakes. It seems like the more mistakes I make, the more I learn and the more often I eventually succeed. When faced with something I haven't done before I usually say, "Eh, what the hell, try it!"

Another great Mikey article. My lathe came with a carriage stop. A technique that has worked good for me to know when to stop the auto feed is to wiggle a piece of paper between the carriage and the stop. When the paper can't move I immediately stop the auto feed. It doesn't take much practice to develop the feel as to when to stop the auto feed.
