    I did a first aid course once
    For the cut first clean out with a good dash of rum. (best administered internally) then followed by some MED CA (on the cut) and you should be ready to keep turning.
    For the bruise apply cold can of Rum and coke and keep refreshing the can before it gets warm and for hygienic reason do not reuse the same can so consume it immediately.
    Cheers Rum Pig

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    I suspect that Jefferson followed the same medical advice I do: one green vitamin B every half an hour until the pain goes away. Followed by more green vitamins on the same schedule to stop it from coming back.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    No turning this weekend - finally caught the lurgy from the boys
    decided that turning of any description might have been too dangerous

    did a bit of tidying up
    and managed to grind some oland tool inserts

    Bad or wrong advice, Andy. You've got to start quickly with 4 green vitamin B cans in the first half hour, then a pill or more every 20 minutes until the pain subsides. Forget the rum though. It makes some (not me) a little cranky.

    Did a little bit more this weekend
    didn't get much time in the shed, Son's sport and birthday party and all
    also had to make a parting tool and whilst at it I put a handle on a drill bit and handles on the Thompson tools

    This bit of fence post is damn hard and I managed to bounce it off the floor a couple of times. Anyway this is where I'm at,

    The weathering lines on the box should look great when you're done!

    I hope so - am a little disappointed with the otherside - not as well weathered.

    Only made this one. because I was drilling a series of holes for the other handles and had in the back of my mind to drill the depth for the box and inspiration occurred (I was dazed for a couple of minutes)

    Like the box shape so far - Retro milk bottle

    Could I ask a dumb question, but why put a handle on a drill bit? What can you do with this tool? Looks very purposeful though!

    Sounds useful, but surely accuracy would be an issue

    Dead curious about this one, really! Maybe I should just give it a go and see what happens.

    There is a tang on the blade about 50mm long and 10 mm wide. It sits in a 9ish mm hole in the handle. I've yet to glue half rod (ie a bit of dowel sliced in half) either side of the tang in the hole, to make it a bit more secure. I doubt whether I needed the handle that long as well, but it's done now. The blade is merely an old hacksaw blade. There was a thread a while back which discussed grinds on the tip.

    Accuracy is not the issue (even though it tends to drill in the centre because the timber is revolving with the chuck)
    The point is to quickly drill the depth hole which can be accomplished with this little number without setting up a jacobs chuck etc
    I hadn't used one before sunday and seems to work well
