Nice. I really like the middle joint. Something about it. I mean I make gaps by accident. But your bit of "air" Somehow the join, just looks very "sharp" design and turning. I'm not sure if I am making sense, but it's supposed to be a compliment :thumbs:

The EEE product from sanding on plastic pens cuts gently to a brilliant finish. Beware with some timbers it makes them quite dark and is not a one fixall product but another shot in the locker. The manufacturer of this product is the owner of a huge forum called U Beaut Forums Woodworking Australia makes the product outtside Melbourne Australia on his property. The U Beaut forum has exceptional sub headings on a wide variety of interests.
