I'm a data basejumper, not a production turner...<br /><br />hee<br /><br />Looks like it's time to invest in that funky, custom boring bar I was designing. And a steadyrest. And some more booze...<br /><br />hmm<br />Taniaaaaa!!!<br /><br />First, let me say I'm not against a run of these, but-<br /><br />The main problem for me is the material. It's really hit or miss here with what I can get, Fairbanks isn't exactly a hub for this kind of thing. Some days it's great material at a higher than premium price, some days it's all crap, some days it's all green and can take several months to finish. The last two chunks of walnut I had I really lucked into (Jim got one fraction of the one chunk and the other bits are already spoken for), and the last pieces of birch I got were all but useless.<br /><br />Lemme dink around with a few things - I'll be getting back to you.<br /><br />Meantime, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2033441&id=1416272677&l=844ecd0a5f" rel="nofollow">here's a snap</a> of my usual style for reference - thumbrests.Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854671368992589012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-32462276453529441872010-05-17T17:26:38.058-05:002010-05-17T17:26:38.058-05:00No, the maker told me I can't eat or drink fro...No, the maker told me I can't eat or drink from it.
