More filework in the vice – I used needle files to get everything looking good before machining.

Same for the standard – I cleaned off the lumps, presumably where the metal was poured into the mould.

Fairly odd setup for the machining the feet.  I was half expecting bits of casting to fly around the workshop, but it seemed to be rigid enough to machine.  I popped a washer over the point of the centre in the tailstock to stop it digging too far into the dowel.

Just a closer look at the setup after a couple of passes.
