Lathe copy tool David, or Astute sub?
The latter as far as I am concerned will be a collector's item.
Joel,
I love these posts - candid and informing. I must say I've never ventured down to the route of getting my own lathe, although I do fondly remember my industrial arts teacher (US equivalent probably "shop teacher") at high school providing great instruction on using one. Probably one of the more enjoyable lessons from school.

Thanks John,
Here in Canada, it is also officially referred to as Industrial arts. I wished they ditched the "arts" part of the term though. It doesn't accurately describe what they're doing and I don't like the association between the word and those who nowadays have declared full ownership and monopoly over the word and its works. They should call it "Industrial practical skills", or "industrial useful abilities" or something of the like...

When i was at high school it was called "metal work". I had the advantage that my Dad at that time owned a small jig and tool making company. Saturday mornings i would go with him, and visit the model shop which was a short walk away, buy something then sit in his office pouring over the parts until he had finished up. Sunday mornings there was no one working in the shop, so i would take my school projects in and work on them. The place had no guards on the machinery, and there would usually be only me there while my dad sorted his work stuff out, health and safety would have a field day. unsupervised 13 year old using unguarded machinery :)Next time someone points out it takes 42 muscles to frown, point out it will only take 4 muscles to b1tch slap them if they tell you how mnay muscles you need to smile:popComment

Actually Mark,
I came across the patent for the nozzle not so long go. Full details -it ain't, but nonetheless lots of details found and promptly passed on to Joel.
The photo you posted in the right hand side shows a nice view of the many blades that the pump jet has. Superb stuff Mark.
