Can't make my mind up which I'd like to have more......the chuck or a chunk of walnut that big!. Nice job, looks great.

I would prefer the Oneway lathe.

Very good, I've been thinking of a Longworth for my benchtop lathe.

...Naval Aviators, that had balz made of brass and the size of bowling balls, getting shot off the deck at night, in heavy seas, hoping that when they leave the deck that the ship is pointed towards the sky and not the water.

Where did you get the hardware from?
Just notice this thread was from last year

I made the hardware with bolts and cut rubber hose that fit snug on the bolts.

That is a great idea! Does it work well?

Works great. Bought a foot of hose from NAPA. Took a bolt with for fit. Just make sure you use some lacquer thinner on the hose to clean off residue or it will transfer to your piece and don't ask how I know that.
