I don't mean a finished faceplate. I mean a mounting plate for a chuck.
It is almost like a faceplate - or is one without a hole pattern or scribes...
unfinished.

Most outside country suppliers of metal and wood lathes have faceplates

Well, the Shopsmith faceplate or it's equivalent is the most likely
candidate but any faceplate has a premium price which I don't need to
pay. I'm a woodturner primarily so if I bought a faceplate I'd want to
use it as such ;-)

I even have the foundry equipment (self-fabricated and a bit crude) to
do aluminum castings but only an unheated garage to do it in, and it's
too frickin' cold to be a sand crab right now--our mid-day highs have
been in the teens! (F)

I'm hoping a foundry hobbiest will do a small batch for me and am in
touch with one guy but I probably shouldn't bother him 'til after the
holidays.
