In this video I make the Centre Height Gauge from Hemingway Kits, a very useful tool for setting the height of lathe tooling. The kit includes all the bar stock, castings and other hardware needed to complete the project as well as some excellent plans and build notes.
I shall be giving this tool away to a subscriber 8 weeks after the video goes live. To be in with a chance of winning it 1. Make sure you are subscribed to the channel 2. Leave me a comment saying that you'd like to be included in the prize draw. I will select someone at random 8 weeks after the video goes live.
