"(paraphrasing) I'm an amateur and make mistakes, but half the fun correcting those mistakes" That is the perfect analogy of a hobby machinist. The Lnyx is coming along nicely Allen. On personal note, I've always found it easier to use a break cylinder hone than a diamond lap.
Cheers Denny. I might get better a surface finish if I had honing stones with a finer grit and will look into that. I didn't show it in the video, but I also gave the bore a polish with a buff and some sort of red compound that was included in a Dremel kit - that made a noticeable improvement. Thanks for watching.
Nice work. Your a good problem solver.
Thanks for the compliments Carl.
Cheers.
