Hi everyone. I'm new here and as green as you can get on a lathe. This is my first ever attempt to make something and it's only the first part of a small slide hammer center punch.
I would like to tell you what I learned and hopefully you can steer me away from any bad habits I'm forming.
1. I learned it's important to find center on my stock and drill it correctly
2. I learned I need to get some center drill bits. It's a bear trying to keep my work from moving...
