Lathe Tailstock Fine Feed Upgrade

G'day everyone,

Today I will be making a simple mod for the mini lathe's tailstock. Adjusting it can be a difficult problem because there is no fine feed and the locking screw is located on the bottom of the tailstock. Thankfully it seems to be quite a simple fix that requires very little material to achieve. I hope you enjoy the video.
