    Ern, thanks for this link... some very interesting (to me) reading.
    I'm happy that I have a Tornyng Whele. (Grin)


    Joseph Moxon defined my hobby for me:
    Any substance, be it Wood, Ivory, Brass, etc., pitcht steddy upon two points (as on an Axis), and moved about on that Axis, also describes a Circle concentric to the Axis; And an Edge-Tool, set steddy to that part of that Aforesaid Substance that is nearest the Axis, will in a Circumvolution of that Substance, cut off all the parts of Substance that lies further off the Axis and make the outside of that Substance also Concentrick to the Axis... This is a brief Collection, and indeed the whole Summ of Turning...<SUP>(5)</SUP>.

    Some minds are like concrete thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

    Can anyone imagine what these 'old time' authors would say if they heavily hit a finger with a hammer?
