    OK, Great video. Love the voice over and the Minnie voice. I have made many improvements to my minnie. Still have a lot to do. My favorite so far was to scrape the ways under the saddle. Then lap the saddle to the lathe bed. Greatly improved the ability to take a deeper cut. Also added longer brass gibs under the saddle ,big improvement in smoothness and rigidity. Also compound lock. Also I added degree hash marks on saddle. Thanks for posting.
