    Got a good start on the project, but wife had other plans for the afternoon. 🙄
    OD is turned, next I’ll drill and bore out the ID close to size, and maybe hand ream
    to finish after the inserts are in the rod and clamped down. It awaits me
    in the lathe chuck for tomorrow fun. I see no signs of the soldering job
    having issues yet, and hope for none while I’m boring the ID!
    Showing the old buggered up inserts for in the photo, and hoping I end
    up with something similar.
