Hi,
Many thanks Jamie and David for the kind words.
I'm pleased the little winder is proving so useful to you David; mine sits on the bench full time.
One thing is for certain; the picture of the skew chisel was taken with the lathe at rest or there would have been a good chance of me wearing it. It's common for a novice working on a lathe to start off with a 2" thick piece of timber mounted between centres and end up with nothing more than a wooden straw; it's all part of the fun of learning.
Kind regards, Col.
