Homemade Tailstock Die holder

Guys, this is my tailstock die holder I made over the weekend. It doesn't have the finesse of others I have seen, but it seems to work ok. I started with a cast aluminum blank that I made from scraps. It is counter bored to receive both small and large round dies. It uses the adaptor that came with my tap/die set to hold the smaller dies. The holder slides on a shaft clamped in the drill chuck with handles for hand rotation.

*****PHOTOBUCKET HIJACKED MY PICTURES SO I HAVE EDITED THE POST TO ADD THE PICTURES BACK. THEY ARE NO LONGER IN ORDER TO MATCH COMMENTARY MADE WHEN THE THREAD WAS STARTED.
