Hi This is the biggest item I have turned. It is hollowed out to 40mm of the bottom but not sanded. It has been scraped on the inside. I di dn't use a steady either so was bricking it a bit. Cheers Frederick

Well it had to happen. A thread on Corona virus. I have been told that I must stay at home and not go anywhere.:sob: Don't know what to make of all this. I have been informed that I am at high risk. Can't look after the kids for a while as they may be carriers. Being over 70 has its drawbacks...

Hi all, I am still around but "play" time is very limited due to family health commitments etc. Hopefully will be back full time soon. Best of luck to all..... Cheers Frederick
