First thing I made on my Mini Lathe

This is only my observation , but It would appear that the lathe was the proverbial "thin edge of the wedge" as it sounds you may now be in the market for a milling machine and dividing head , you know to save having to spend $15.00 for a new gear when you can "invest" several thousand for the long term eventuality that something else will be in need of repair. Just ask any of the enablers on the site I dare you...
 
....and it leaked again and wore away the bush. So I'll make a new one this weekend and try fix the leak.
 
Well BTW I spent all weekend cleaning up and fitting the new Quick Change and then trying to work out where the leak is on the barrel. By the looks of it it's close to end of life as the plastic has worn so thin I can see right through it so it's near end of days. I'll give it one more crack though as why not.
