Hello,

I cut two rough 3" circles out of 3/4" plywood and hacked out a hole
for
the 1 x 8 nut to fit into (very sloppy hole) in one of the circles, and
glued
the two plywood circles together.

I then dropped the nut into the hole, and filled the surrounding hole with
Epoxy (very messy).

After the epoxy set and the glue dried, I put the assembly onto the lathe
and trued up the new faceplate.

I have made two such faceplates and been using this "nut" faceplate at
lathe speeds of 1200 rpm without it coming apart..

Ah, I like this idea, Bernie. Thanks.
