Well I finally made some good cuts on the lathe I got late last year. I got the lathe and then got busy with work and moveing and other projects. Then about the time I got the most of that cleared up I cut 2 fingers 1/2 way off on my right hand, and, you guessed it I am right handed. Screwed up some nerves cut some tendons, and now 2 surgerys later STILL in physical therapy, and fellers PT SUCKS. Anyway I went out in the shead last night and sharpened a cutter (HSS) and made some passes and it turned (he he) out ok. Thanks to all on this board who pointed me in the right direction last year when I begain this quest to make small peices from larger ones. JETWRENCH
