Lathe Ball Turning Attachment Build

G'day everyone,
In todays video I will be showing you the process that I undertook to make a ball turning attachment for the mini lathe. There are many different styles of ball turners, each with their own pros and cons. For my ball turner, I wanted to make it so that it was easy to make using the tools that I had on hand, and work with the quick change tool post.
