Would a South East Qld member be able to do a small turning job for me?
I need a front knob for a plane turned, its an odd design and I cannot source a replacement.
I have the original (which I'll need returned) to copy from, and I'd prefer to pay in a piece of 65mm x 65mm x 235mm Huon. I'm hoping you'll have a scrap that is suited as the material, so I don't need to buy something for such a small job.
I don't know if this makes a difference, but the base of the knob will need to be turned so it is concave, as this part 'mates' to a raised, convex portion of the plane.
Original piece is East India Mahogany and I'd be looking for it to be turned in anything that is a) dark, and b) 'tool handle' suited.
Sorry, I can't post a pic - no digi camera.
I only ask for a SEQ member cause I'm really cheap on postage, but it doesn't really matter.:D
