Hi Peter,


Thanks for your reply and information.


I am more than impressed of inserting the

tubes into such a well fitting hole that glue is not needed. As I spend more time with this 'hobby',

I am amazed at some of the tolerances that the 'experienced' guys work to. I'm guessing that

this talent comes from an engineering background rather than a woodwork one.

Nevertheless, some of the items that are shown in forums, youtube etc, are

just astounding !!! I also very much appreciate your ability to 'see through

a problem' in mostly, such simplistic ways whereas I normally start at the difficult

end first - if you see what I mean.


So, one question - those special stepped drills for cleaning up and cleaning

out the brass tubes ...... do you have one for each size tube or have I

missed a salient point ?


Peter, I don't post too much on here, I'm more a reader, but just

wanted to say how much I enjoy your posts, how kind you are to

those that need it and how much I appreciate your talent.


Hoping your health is improving


Very best wishes from damp, grey, wet and miserable Peterborough, England
