My thought go out to you as well
As for the mix
To “ the place of fire and pitch forks with it mix a small batch just enough to test the idea
Ps sorry mods did not think before posting four letter word for hadies
Here’s a thought
I was looking at bowl gouge and other tool grinding/sharpening angles, as with this chest infection I am up all night
As I looked it’s made me think that I may have to regrind just about all my tools
Stig, thought about it after posting ... will cut I think Christmas tree blanks.....
Phil. Yep I knew the risk, comes of looking at ways not to buy proper blanks lol I Just wanted to explore that avenue, I try to use reclaim wood for my projects
I use brass screws on my outside chair builds, I dip the tip in a soft wax to ease screwing in..... having to remove a broken screen from a project is BLEEP
Looking good Stig, I was most concerned about the cork flying apart on you
My sea kill project has died
Whilst I still have a chest infection I took interest in my blanks today.... sad to say they are not going to be bowls the left the opening is now 1/4 inch if does not split in two I will cut...
Speak to a firm lock Axminster and ask which is the way forward
My 1992 Axminster has 1inch *8 tpi so that has been around for a few years now
I have noticed that newer chucks can be reversed something mine can not do
Get a qualified electrician in for the mains
Or
I have fitted my own solar panels battery’s and inverter
Note
If using lithium batts you will prob have to speak to local fire station as when I asked they record lithium battery applications re fire risk
