Alongside working on the straight-edges, I've been putting together this I'd lapping arbour. The lap itself is based on robrenz's design; its expanded by a taper inside, and locked rotationally by the little collar. The shaft is driven between centres on a lathe, and will hopefully let me achieve some very nice bearing fits for the new lathe spindle. It's probably not going to get its own video, as I'm not sure there's a broad appeal for this level of machine-geekiness, but I am considering doing an overview and demo for you guys here on patreon, and of course plans to go with it, so let me know if that interests you!
