Experimenting further.. using available material (didn't find any steel bolt, hence the brass), made and added the boss with the angled sides on the underside of the solid tool post mounting block thereby allowing for 2 additional securing bolts. Tried a couple of test cuts.. but of course forgot to add the 2 extra hold down bolts.. jaja.. time to call it quits today Jan :)
Oh yes. .found the missing T-nut. As some of you very obeservant viewers pointed out.. it was under the lathe bed! (so could have saved my knees yesterday..
Further testing ahead.
