Excellent! Makes me want to make a micro-chuck even without the lathe!

Yes, top work David, keep the pictures coming and "zoom in" on the finished chuck.

Nearly finished! chuck works. Fastened lathe to a board and motor mounted and working. I made the 4 jaw chuck from one piece of steel for the body, as Bert suggested, and it worked out well having made a cutter from a end mill relived in the middle to cut the jaws were made from gauge plate. I have made a collet set for the spindle and only have to split the collets to make them work. I am also having a 3D printed cover for the motor made as soon as I make the CAD drawing.

I can't help thinking that Stuart never expected anyone to finish the lathe as a working model!

Wow, that's actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I have seen them on stuart before, but didn't think they were big enough to actually work.
