    Bet that gave you a fright!
    How did you manage to do a silly thing like that?
    Hope it doesn't hurt too much and you'll be back at the lathe real soon.

    Best wishes
    Steve

    Hey Nai,

    I hope you get better soon, , you can still read about turning and get some design ideas from the Magazines at the Doctors, while you are waiting-waiting and waiting.

    Looking forward to the Pics
