    Nice with great finish. Can we now assume you are a thread turning expert? What is the white top all about?

    Hi kidbee, thanks for your thoughts .......
    "A thread turning expert "...... I never said I was an expert ! far from it ........
    I have been "practicing" for about 12 to 15 months , and I can tell you
    It ain, t easy, but I ain, t no expert ......
    The top Is"all about" a piece of corian , turned on an eccentric chuck ,
    again it ain, t easy , from memory this was about lid no. 6 .......
    Again thank you so much for your comments , much appreciated.

    Hi phil, thank you for your comments , the "white stuff " Is a kind of corian,
    Can, t remember the name of it , but it, s what they make vanity unit/kitchen bench tops out of, turns very nicely , I think it will thread well too,

    G'Day Smiife,

    That is a very nice little box. The lid and feet lift it above "ordinary", well done.
