If you properly glue a thin piece, 7mm as you mentioned, to a stable backing substrate, it will remain flat. Thicker than 7mm it may have enough strength to lift.

Here in the states we have I-Vac boxes https://www.ivacswitch.com/ivac-switch/ I would think you could find something similar near you.

Robust sells a collet handle insert and Hosaluk sells a grub screw version. https://www.packardwoodworks.com/tools-hand-hosa.html https://www.turnrobust.com/product-category/accessories/tool-handles/

That's one reason it failed, IMO Apparently, even the voluntary certification within the tiny submersible industry was skipped by this guy and his company. As far as testing goes, we now have remote sensors and cameras of all sorts that can take more readings and data than you could ever need...

I agree 100%

I'm sure we'll be hearing cautionary stories about "dark Tourism" for weeks. Once people are convinced to the degree where they sign on the dotted line, eliminating all responsibility on behalf of the tour company, this will continue. Everest, Chernobyl, Titanic and so on Sad

One thing to consider is, what is already available and how yours will be different. https://bow-products.com/product/guidepro/

Interesting method of turning the tapered legs. IMO, you made much more work for yourself but you got the results you wanted. I also don't usually see turnings with the larger diameter at the tailstock end, this is opposite of what most people do. A template or story stick is often enough to...

You're complaining about guesses and opinions while simultaneously saying you don't want a concrete number. Members are trying to answer your question but you don't seem to know what you're looking for. It would seem obvious that there is no one single answer but a range of answers, as there is...

I think the entire subject is overblown. While we all want our straight tools to be straight and our flat tools to be flat, etc, obsessing over the perfect at the expense of the good (above necessary tolerances) is a waste of time. A laser flat sole is of no use if the operator doesn't know how...

A dremel mandrel would most likely work, with only a small hole needed.

Thanks for the welcome. I've been here reading and participating a bit for a few days now and it seems like a good group of guys/gals

Putting everything else aside, I wouldn't want to stub my to on that piece of furniture.

If I understand you correctly, you're asking about a shoulderless tenon joint

Before you work with ANY species unknown to you, consult a wood toxicity chart. Example https://www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/wood-allergies-and-toxicity/

Bad design or bad mistake, it still hurts to look at.

A sharpening system of some kind is essential to turning but it's good to see you made a start without one. I always tell new turners to take their first project and put it on the shelf. Check back on it in a few months, you'll be surprised how fast you can develope skills if you keep at it. It...
