Where did you get the tail stock extension for the live center?

The one I have is from:

A word of caution here, the shopsmith live center doesn't have the tang on the end so you can't use a drift to get it apart. Drift is also pictured as are photos showing the details of this. If you need more information I can search for my posts on this from the past...

Thank you for the web site.

I have a basic knowledge of turning. My Dad at one point in his career worked in a machine shop and owned a metal lathe. Unfortunately, when he tried to teach me, I had different interest.

Now, I'm picking it up on my own and wish I had his wisdom and knowledge to draw from.

I appreciate your fast response. Thank you again.
