When this all happened, my first thought was JB Weld, but I could not find my tube!!!:( So the epoxy was the second choice, knowing that it probably would not work or last long.

I definitely will use a set screw that will not dig into the ring. Yes, the Center adjustment ring apparently is s...

Ed,

Thanks so much for your input, pictures, and no how. I apparently missed your post on this, and most certainly will take advantage of your know how when I return from my pheasant hunt.

When I was a little boy, I worshipped my Uncle. He was the person that got me started in woodworking. Being a lad of about seven, I remember him telling me to "Never lend out your tools, you will never get them back or they will be damaged!" That was way back in the early 1950's! Over the ...

Very nicely done! Your "Story" reminded me of when I first started turning pens. It was almost two years later when I "could keep one" for myself! It is amazing how people come out of nowhere with......"I want one!"
