Atlas Dial Replacement

[Jeff May]

I remember reading or watching somewhere a how to, on adding larger cross slide and compound dials on the Atlas lathe.
Can anyone help me locate these again?
I've looked on several sites and You Tube. I know I'm missing them, I just can't seem to locate them again. DUH...
Thanks in advance,

How about you make some and take videos? I'd love to have bigger dials on my atlas, what equipment does it take to make them? Can I do it all on a lathe?

Maybe you saw this from Tallgrass Tools?:

I made my own dials and referred to them in a topic dealing with making a new top slide for my former Atlas.

Looks to me that they only make them for the larger Atlas/Cman lathes. I wouldn't mind having those for my 6" lathe.
