Restoration job, new key and backing plate

Hey guys I have been looking for a 4 jaw chuck for ages and I eventually found one on eBay that need restoration.
It turned out pretty well with some elbow grease then making a new key and backing plate to mount to my lathe.
Enjoy

Got the cast iron blanks in the post to me right now to make a backing plate for my four jaw. Watched this keenly

Nice recovery after the scroll broke!

Hi Darren, if I may make one suggestion, don't reach over the lathe when you're wearing long sleeves. It only takes a fraction of a second for it to get caught, and I'd really hate to see you get hurt.
Keep on making things*
*But be safe while doing so. ❤
