Welcome to the forum, Edmund

I just watched a few of your videos, although I don't have a Taig lathe I still found your modifications great

I think you could just post the photos in this thread to start off with.

Edmund,

A Sealion  Some of the castings for one of those followed me home yesterday 

Jo

Hello Jo,
     the Sealion castings I presume some are partly machined?, or hopefully not, my one is about 90% complete but also 30 years at least old, its been a long symphony, I have quite a few little jigs like the camshaft jig for machining in the lathe, I would post a few pictures of progress if I knew what group to post to,

........Edmund.......

If the engine you are building is from plans you can post your progress here: http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php?board=39.0
If the engine is your own design you can post your progress here: http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php?board=41.0
If the engine is from castings you can post your progress here: http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php?board=40.0

Hope this helps, I looking forward to seeing some photos

Welcome Edmund !

Welcome Edmund from another Taig user (although this side of the pond they're marketed as Peatol).
I know what you mean about the limitations of the tailstock.
I particulary like your modification. I'm afraid mine was more utilitarian in nature. I turned it round and bolted a block to what was now the back and fitted a longer handle. I also made a longer spindle. so much easier to use now. they're great little lathes.
