    Looks good so far. As experienced as you are, I expect you know to do a wrap or three of tape around the rim and run some CA glue in the cracks.

    It would not do well to have 1/4 of a platter in the face.
    So much timber, so little time.

    Hi oldgreybeard , I will try to use more appropriate words In the future......
    I can, t belive you actually looked the word up !
    I always thought "pyro" had something to do with fire!

    As an old retired photographer, I have to throw this in the pot. Pyro was one of the revived miracle developers in the 1950s.

    Absolutely correct smiife - pyro comes from the greek word for fire (pyr).

    That brings back memories, tho I would not be in a hurry to swap Photoshop and lightroom for the old darkroom.
