Thanks, Paul. It is only bit hairy when turning that ring around the top. when boring you are away from the spinning handle but always have to be aware of it...line when placing the tool rest! I set one up once and the handle caught the tip of the tool rest and snapped the handle stock right off. It was a clean break so I  glued it back on after turning the ring and the inside and it is not noticeable at all! Actually that made it easier to turn!!
