Yes, better late than never. However, with all I have had to learn to do this project, all be it off and on (but mainly off!), it will probably go down as one of the favourite things I have turned.

Look on axmister YouTube Chanel. Colwin Wah did a whole video on this recently.

Having a bit of tidy up and finding homes for things. Hung my stewart armbrace and hollow form drill under my air filter. My son came into the workshop and said ‘Dad, that looks like Harry potter’s broom, it must make magic things. We see! Simon
