A perfect lathe when fossul fuel runs out. Totally variable speed and you probably can run it backwards too.
Proper dress would of course be lycra but I suggest a nail bag as there is no need to skite in the shed. :D

Bad luck CC.
As they say, it's not building a better mousetrap that's the problem, it's reaching your market before Microsoft integrates it into the Windows operating system ;-}

Very true Ern.

Take good care,

Yep.
Or, if your technology looked really good, they'd take you over and announce a wonderful new advance :cool:
