Nice work though

0.59 and 1.29 are the most interesting parts, showing how smooth intermittent cuts can be achieved IMO

 

and please note how a good tailstock centre is required

The tailstock unit is almost twice the size of the workpiece

Nice work, using traditional tools.

Ady1 makes an excellent point about using a good Tailstock Centre.

It's also interesting to see the job held in a very ordinary-looking three jaw chuck ... Obviously all turned at one chucking.

Looks like the 3 jaw is only holding a centre as there's definitely a dog driving the workpiece.

Shows how sharp tools are a must !

My error, Wallace

That makes much more sense !!

... The headstock centre would have been trued-up in the 3-Jaw.
