That makes sense, but turning the mandrel (thanks for the terminology lesson...You will see me make many of those mistakes...entirely new terminology to me) around requires having the lathe set up really well....right? For accuracy? Hey, I'm learning!
And thanks to you and others for that...I love this learning thing,

Oh another thing, The original Homier model had a few diffent features than the newer ones...does it really matter? I could wait on one on ebay or just go ahead and make the plunge....your thoughts?

So, using aluminum is possible...kewl as the young folks would say. Reckon there is enough interest for a new category about how to use these little lathes for what we are doing...gun stuff? There seems to be some interest. The cost is probably less than a really nice, well done rifle including all the paraphenalia. I just spent a small fortune outfitting my little nephew with a decent riftle to begin deer hunting with and it was a weatherby vangaurd...it cost a lot to buy a gun, bases, rings, scope, lens covers, sling, ammo and on and on. So buying and outfitting one of these little toys seems to be about the same committment as one decent gun to me. And just thing of the possibilities,
