My lathe is right next to the drill press to the right. I have minor resperatory problems. When the work smokes I turn on that fan to circulate the air.

Bill, as much aluminum as I see there, it would sure look good anodized. You can do it yourself pretty easily if you don't have a bud in the biz. That's a pretty piece of work.....just needs some color. ) Or not, just clear would preserve it.

Tony; I do have a friend in the business. Never gave color a thought. To all, thanks for the compliments and questions.

Is there a thread on this forum for anodizing aluminum?
Thanks

Nice tapper, looks like it works good.
