    Thanks for the links. I've ordered a few books from Amazon on Shaker furniture plus borrowed a few more (I have some, but it covered bigger furniture).

    The purchasing is a good idea but the client wanted a distinct design. I don't mind turning them as my time isn't limited (I don't work ATM as my wife is hugely sick)... These jobs fill the gaps.

    Berlin , no Canberra in Australia. I put Das Kapital as a joke. The people here are intense socialists, but are 90% public servants. They don't get the hypocracy that socialism is driven from the division of productive labour, not rent seeking and banking. Since paying for public servants is the worst form of taxation distribution and most own rental properties, Karl Marx would be rolling in his grave! Hence the double entrende. I agree, it might be a bit esoteric

    If you don't mind grinding the points off the verniers makes much safer! I have grinded mine and it stops the being pinched at work!
