As usual a lot of very handy hints and tips.
Yes i am doing two pieces at the same time and that obviously will cause a problem as you get to the centre of the mandrel, i will try one section at a time

I have some bits of wood i can play with so will do that, good advice. Running before i can walk and all that/

Will go have a look at this.

As an aside i have seen centres that a hole in them and the mandrel slides into it rather than being supporting them on a small point. Has anyone used these. [HTML]http://www.stilesandbates.co.uk/product.php/section/0/sn/PMS1MT[/HTML]
