Just me again,
I was turning some stuff the other day and had one of those days when I just should have stayed in bed. Broke three items in a row. 1st was a small lidded box the top of which decided to break when I was cutting off the finial. 2nd was a platter that I'd made from 2 pieces of wood when the glue decided that it didn't want to play anymore and 3rd, a platter with a pedestal that not only decided to break on the glue joint but, after the fact, I realised that I'd stuffed up the base by turning the outside of the pedestal shorter than the spigot I was using to hold it in the chuck :o. I suppose that others have had similar experiences, but three in one day?
