Been thinking of one of these for a long time, Cedge's thread finally gave me the impetus to get started.
Pretty much a copy of Lew's design, as it looked a lot simpler to do.
One little 'refinement' - I made sure that the top of the tool coincided with the lathe centre height - just lay it upside down on a flat surface, push the tool bit down to ditto and nip up.
It works well, given that the tool bit is a roughly done freehand grind - I'm blown away by the quality of the facing.
