I have made a few of these using the softer caster wheels. The mounting holes in the tailstock are slots that I drilled and filed so the casters can be adjusted. The tail stock remains fully functional. I use a 3 internal jaw 4" metal lathe chuck with a 5/8" adapter to hold the tubes. Really does a beautiful job on the tubes as I can clean, polish and wax them. I also find bent tubes when mounting them in this setup. This tube was 100% rusty and not fully cleaned yet. About 5 minutes of work so far for this picture.

Bill, great idea and even easier to build that what I tried. I had an extra tail stock and never thought of that. I guess that is why we all turn to you because at one time you have probably already done or tried it.
Thank for the picture. Now I know what I will make next

Bill,
Do you have any photo image editing software installed on your computer? That's where you'd resize your photos to make them appear larger.

Here's a free one that I use.

Taking JPG's suggestion to heart, I have gone back and property inserted my pictures into the posts using the paperclip feature, for easier viewing. I'll attach any future pictures of my project using this method, in the future.

BTW, Irfanview is a very nice piece of picture manipulation software, it's the one I've been using for years, and it's FREE!

Cheers!
