Thanks guys, I would be glad to show but I figured it out with a specific lathe & attachments. To borrow a movie line "Abbynormal".
I have been trying to figuring how to with a "Normal" lathe but keep seeing potential probs so I dont know what to say. I can give the basic principle then maybe you can see something I dont.
One thing is for sure is there too much to it to explain here

Crap! Where do I get one of those?

PS. Eddy and Chris, I'm pretty sure they are unweighted, if I get a chance I'll check for sure.
