Lathe project: Trombone End Plug

This is my finished product.  Made out of 3/4" diameter steel, it is a Trombone End Plug used by a technician as a sight in determining whether a trombone's inner slide tubes are bent, can help with rounding damaged inner tube ends and supports the tube end when straightening.  Follow this link to discover more:   https://youtu.be/jnfog8DKfwE 




Here's a pic of me at the lathe creating the before mentioned tool.  After seeing this video, I realized that I broke a very important safety rule.  My sleeves should be rolled up to prevent any entanglement with the rotating lathe chuck.
