Long Time Away from Metal Lathe But Needed a Tamp So I Made One

[oldbaccy]

It's been a few decades since metal shop in high school.

Needed a tamp so I fired up the 7x chinese lathe and gave it a go.

My skills are rough, seems I've lost the magic touch so I'll have to read some lathe books and watch some youtube videos to get the skill back.
For now, freehand on the lathe, this is what I ended up with. Don't laugh too hard
