You did fine , keep machining and you will get better ! 👍👍

Thank you! I am learning a little each time. This hobby is great for stimulating creativity, while learning math and geometry at the same time.

Nice work! I'm not a machinist either, but I sure do appreciate good craftsmanship.

Thanks for your comment. Every time I use this machine, I learn how to do something just a little better. Or break something.

I finally got to see the knurling tool. It was oddly similar and vastly different from what I imagined. Nice work.

Thanks! There's another style of knurling tool that has fixed wheels, and is pushed into the work from the side. This style seems to work decently for my little lathe.
