The milling attachment and stead/follow rests came with the 1938 Clausing
I had. I don't know if they're that old, but they look it.
The ball turner, I made recently.
Used a rusty, pitted piece of 2-3/4" stock turned to 2.650"
Didn't get rid of all the crud. Patina? Character?
I silver braze my own carbide tipped tools
Got the bottom plate from the scrap yard.
It works.

Some heavy duty stuff there Angelo, show us some stuff you've made, I wouldn't have a clue where to start on a metal lathe

Love to see these items, and also talk of metal lathes .. My Father had many lathes during my childhood, he mainly made steam engines. Here is a picture of the last one he had ..
