Jetster...that is indeed a very good looking hub. What model is your new lathe? I went back and read some previous postings on "Lathes for conversions" and it it getting me in the mood to start more Lathe work. It is a good time of year....too cold and nasty out here to do anything out of doors! In all the photos I have seen here on theses forums...I have never seen the backside view of the hubs showing the taper, ect. A few more views (in sequence) of the hubs made would be neat also. Best Regards Capt,n
