Making A Better Carriage Stop For The Lathe

G'day everyone,

In this video I will be making a carriage stop for the lathe. Carriage stops are a popular project for hobbyists to make for lathes. I need one to hold a dial indicator so that I am able to set the lathe up to cut tapers. My design will be slightly different to other ones. I am aiming to make it much more ergonomic and simpler to use, having the screw at the top to lock it. I hope you enjoy the video.
