Very nice job there.

How did you turn the rounded ogive?

 

[youngbrain]

Hi Falcon.. Thank you for your note, as for the ogive. it would be best if I have a radius turning attachment on the lathe, unfortunately i have non. So i did it manually using hand and eye coordination on the cross and axial feed of the lathe. Using a profiled card board as a template


, i coordinate the hand wheels respectively till i got it close to shape and then using a file to finish it to as close the shape i could get.. Thanks cheers, andrew
