hi Dimitri, I'm a machinist for 50+ years and to say ''pro'' won't want to wach this is so wrong! we have all got to work with what we got to get the job done and that's what you did, no harm, no foul. i've done way worse things than that lol 😂 😂
Damn son! Fantastic - you must be super happy how that came out. I get so jealous of people who own lathes and all that stuff. For example - I bought 20mm bench dogs from China - took months to arrive because of shipping delays, and it turns out they sent me freakin' 19mm. if ONLY I had a lathe and a sweet steady rest like yours I could turn those 19mm dogs into 20mm! 😝
