I use to have one last year, I must have lost in in the workshop somewhere I expectEvery lathe should have a chuck board close to hand to prevent damage to the ways when a heavy chuck is changed

Finished the table I showed earlier.
Because i couldn't get the wood I wanted, changes needed to be done, some lugs where welded on:
oiled and installed the wooden tabletop:
(The Plan was to use DIN 921 Screws, but they aren't awaylable in the needed length, so Hex it is)

Made a point and a few other bits.
Annealed new element, stretched it to length for the new design, then fitted the old new one, so its ready for another attempt at brass! Then it started raining
Welded up the lid with filler rods, to help support the insulation. Stick welding to 2.4mm rods is a skill I do not have !

I am not really happy with it tooI like the frame but I think the bolts through the top spoil it a bit
But I didn't really find a good alternative.
I have no tooling for Countersunk screws in Wood. And they need to be done far more precisely then my Woodworking skills allow
Screws with ultra thin Heads like BN9524 are not available in the moment or at all in dimensions like M8x25.
Maybe I will give threaded Inserts (DIN 7965) a try but I do not have confidence that the wood will not crack.
Lens flange screw ( I am not shure if thats the correct english Term) DIN EN ISO 7380-2 would have a Headsize similar to
but are less annoying to use. (If the security aspect isn't necessary).
Anyone with a brilliant Idea?

Yeah had a few of them before and there one of the best for performance and light output I’ve found that’s one on my old car before it was aimed properly which gave great range and good spread left to right up close

Tried that one. 14mm is really one of the flew woodworking tools I have.
Not to bad. My add some smaller washer to level out all 4 heads
