Finally your influence is kicking in, needing to slow production down whilst other duties take precedence, decided to try post turning decoration in the shorter time slots, very basic at the moment whilst I get to grips with one of those burr spinning devices that has an unpleasant resemblance to the junior school torture foot driven dental visits and to see what other jigs I might need before I embark on clearing another log stash.Dalboy":1xt6zoma said:..
