    I am surprised the idea of a flanged nyloc nut in the thread of choice has not been offered so far, its something I would consider.

    It's actually mild steel. The cold blue came out a bit brownish, and I think it's a camera or lighting artifact that makes it look like tarnished brass. The washer is in fact brass though. Thanks for the compliment. The design is based on John Stevenson's well known design, and is similar to the Hardinge design as well, with the dovetail arrangement opposite of most.

    My wife said something similar, "I guess you can use YouTube as a way to check for flaws in your tool designs!" lol
    Always looking for the bright side.
    And yeah, I figure folks don't read other comments very often.
    And I'm just grateful that they watched my video and took the time to post a comment, so it doesn't bother me so much when I look at it that way.
    Cheers!

    Just remember. Good engineers pay to have their designs checked and evaluated. Great engineers get it done for free!

    Nyloc nuts are great the first time you tighten them. But if you have to remove and reinstall/retighten them too often, they stop working as a lock nut. Says the cheap bastrich who often tries to get get by with slightly used hardware.
