I took the head off and then sharpened it so it resembled a very pointed half round and bent it about 70 degrees.How did you sharpen it? I flatten the top of the tip on the grinder, so that it's only a semi-circular profile for the last 5mm or so. Then, using that as the "top" of the tool, I sharpen the tip the same as I would for a very small gouge or scraper.
I managed to find the tools like Jude was using - they are O ring lifters and at auto shops - mind you, there are even more people in this town who now think I am insane ... looking for dental tools:eek: :eek: :eek:
Got two rings happening, then on the third the wood busted when there was a dig in. Glued it to 'show and tell' when I came inside.
Don't panic, the west ward pigeon is still in transit too.Still haven't made it to Armidale. Aus post is very variable in its speed.

Could be worse... I've an old military dental drill, (dox say 'twas last serviced in the 50s some time!) one of the old fashioned beasts with belts whizzing around everywhere, that scared the bejeezus outta me when I was a kidley. It even has a treadle attachment for blackouts! :eek:

Mine too, perhaps the same pigeon trainer!!
Mulberry is certainly yellow! Can't wait to get at it, as soon as this head cold passes and I can think straight.
