Incoming.... but you'll have to wait until I find it again. Cheers Andy

My remedy for getting good fixing in dodgy substrates including "dot and dab"..... Ample 12mm or bigger dowel. Matching drill. Drill hole and vacuum out (using small piece of tube to bridge gap if dot and dab.) Chamfer end of dowel and Mark depth of hole. Score dowel sideways with saw teeth Cut...

Not sure if this is the answer or even works but what if the cast bench ends were splayed to allow the slats to sit flat. The result would be a bench that for me would be quite pleasing to the eye. Cheers Andy

I really hope not 😵😵 But stranger things have been known.... Cheers Andy

Just a thought to run by you all.. Is it just me or do you folks find this a most wonderful object to look at? Also what is it about spirals that makes me want to turn it whilst having the tips of my fingers in the grooves? Anyway, enough of my afflictions, my initial thoughts are for plugging...

In answer to whom please? Cheers Andy

Just thinking out the box here but I wonder if they changed from one style of cutting blades to the other but kept the same block.

Good day to you Alasdair. If you contact Jeremy at Appleby Woodturnings and ask him if they don't list them. Despite the company name he is also a tooling supplier with a wealth of knowledge. Hope he can help you. Cheers Andy https://www.applebywoodturnings.co.uk/
