The best compliment I can pay your work is to say "you sir, are a true craftsman."
A very nice piece of work if ultimately based on flawed original design...but still a terrific job

A excellent job indeed. and very well done for stamping it's a reproduction on it.
Brilliant job and post! Thanks for all the pics and detail. You've raised the bar so high for a informative post don't know how anyone can top this.

Humbling. Thanks for sharing.
You Sir, have 'skills' . A great piece of work, thanks for sharing.
Superb - fascinating reading and excellent craftsmanship.
Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. I can assure you I am no craftsman, just an academic who hadn't touched a lathe until he retired a few years ago, and lucky to have plenty of time and patience to compensate for his machining ignorance.
Now for a long break, and then to start another build, whateve that might be. Perhaps something with a bit more oomph this time!
