Rhodedendrum (spelling?)

At the risk of teaching others to suck eggs on the basis of my own naivity - you may be interested to read Chas's (CHJ)comment on the following link concerning movement in thin platters.

It appears it may be a race to get the project done and photographed before "warpage"

edited to add the link

I'm surprised that a certain person, nearer me than you, hasn't asked if he can stick a finial on it :roll: :roll:

Put some legs on it and you have a non slip stool :mrgreen:

I thought the specs were perfectly clear - at least the new ones are. The old ones were full of turning dust and mess and were nearly opaque. I could hardly see through them. No finials on the new glasses either.

"No finials on the new glasses either."

No real 'spectical' then Gordon??

Lunettes? Small specticals maybe?

I'll sue :shock:

Who are you accusing of having small specticals?

And don't accuse me of being daft either - Lunettes indeed.

Ok folks - new platter made.

Race to decorate AND photo before this one goes into WARP drive!

Scottie said she'll never make it Captain, but Spock was confidant that it will make it - it is the only logical conclusion (demonstrable evidence of a nerdy Treky past).
