I have just received an invitation from the forum to update what have I been up to lately,

My new project involves the building of a .800 scaled replica of a 1906 bench Hand Shaper of French Design called Petite Lime Shaper, my progress is displayed on You Tube in video,

My channel is titled Walter Maisey,

Walter, I watched some of your videos. It looks like you are really stretching the Taig mill, but it seems to be doing the job.

Thanks for posting the videos.

Thank Chuck,
there are certainly a few operations that are causing concern, it would go a little smother with better endmills, it is a pretty good test for such a small machine, of course I have had to give it a boost by adding the wider drive belt system the thin belts just weren't up to it,

Thanks again
