went up to model steam engine club i belong to.
not been member long, but been helping with bits and learning.
one of old timers asked me to make him handle on lathe, prob was it needed taper on it.
explained didn't know how to do taper, so he just downed tools took me over to lathe and taught me.
then told me to make 6 more as practice.
best bit he then engraved my name on one and fitted it to engine he was building.
say's last one lasted 36yrs so hopefully be there long time.
going to make some better ones for my lathe.
 
thank you for sharing your story with us.
that old timer is a good man.
