I was wondering what the specs are for your lathe, swing, distance between centers. Also something you may be interested in doing is making your three jaw lie a Tru-set chuck by machining you back plate slightly under size. You drill and tap three screw holes around the chuck flange to bear against the back plate and adjust for runout. The following website shows details, works great. http://www.frets.com/HomeShopTech/Projects/AdjChuck/adjchuck.html
Also you can grind a tool that gives an excellent almost ground finish to turned materials, just search for the contrary finishing tool.

I wish I had such resolve to clean after I turn the machines off :) And I agree, (good) casting is very very difficult, but that’s what makes it so interesting!

I have viewed your site with great interest. My sincere congratulations for the work done. It all looks wonderful. Also you cast is very good. I myself have several times tried to cast parts but it was a real catastrophe. Now I make all parts of thin or thick steel plate. On my site you can view some of my projects.
Have a nice time
Gerard
