Marcel, what a great idea!
I will have to keep it in mind as a possibility when I need it.
Thanks for posting it.

Charles, thanks for updating this thread, somehow I had missed it all together.
If you do "give it a go" I hope you share your version too!

Hi Brino, I will definitely go ahead as soon as everything is in my new place.
Called 6 removalists, only two answered and came round to quote, so far only one quote back.
we hope to be fully in within 4 weeks then I can get back to my hobbies.

How dumb am I? I was thinking about this the other day and wondered if it would be possible.
I already asked that question and the answer was yes.
well it was 6 years ago so I guess for an old fart thats the norm.
I'm determined now to give it a go.

How dumb are you ???? How dumb am I. I read it all the way down till i got to your post. 6 years ago UGH. Think i'll go fix sump thing, Anything. It is a good idea though.

I got this beast on the lathe I purchased. Not sure if I'll every use it, but it's pretty cool. It is basically the same as Keith Fenner's duplicator.

Ooooh! Put an angle on the sheet, and it's a taper attachment.
