[ Making adapters on a small lathe ]

Here is pictures I tok while making the custom
adapter used to connect the TrueTek Filterwheel/cam to the Wynne 3" corrector.

The plan was to use the Precise Parts adapter that I use on the FSQ106,
since it´s has correct threads for connecting to the filterwheel.
