First double closed end!!

[Jim Burr]

So first...big props to (shhhhh). We traded many PM's and this is what happened. I have several boo boo's and oops's...but this is what I ended up with. Some kind of purple plastic from CSUSA and a Jr Gent II. Finished to 12k mm and hutts. I am really proud of this one and won't have the same result for at least 20-30 to come...but this one...I like it:biggrin: Thank you sir...you know who you are!

Looks really good. Now that you have your toes wet, it's just a few steps to going completely kitless.

Nice work Jim! All those boo boos and oops add up to experience. Looks like you are on your way. Would love to see another photo with it together. Look forward to the next one.

Great job! I have yet to successfully make a closed end, but I've screwed a few up :biggrin:

Great coloring in that blank too!
What was the 'kit' you started with there?

Thanks folks:biggrin:!!
It began life as a Ti Jr Gent from CUSUA. Looks like I'll have a few spare parts hanging around the shop!
There are so many details to watch out for! I have some new toys on the way and while a MT2 Jacobs chuck seems to work well...I did catch the thread on collet chucks. Ended up with 2 days off in a row...plenty of time to screw up more blanks!
