And I will get the calipers out, so watch it old mate.
Plus the magnifiers, just to check your sanding and finish. Same as you do when judging.
So how's the serenity now? Oops, that one is for David AKA Calm, but it's relevant.
As I've said many times, I will get you. Aside from Jim Carroll, no-one is brave enough to stand up to you, but others will if I persuade them gently. Well, if I push and shove.....Ken Wraight.

Ken, the real question is whether will accept the challenge! Originally Posted by KenW

So are you with us this time around ? Or has the Little Grasshopper been too cheeky? Oops and apologies if I have been....

You really need a lathe for each chuck. And I don't know what I'd do without George to play with during power blackouts.

Someone has described as a rough diamond. I'd send him off to the jewellers, but they'd have to start work on the beard..... Originally Posted by Jim Carroll

I agree Ken. But you don't have to talk me into, just the missus! Originally Posted by KenW
Andy, by your logic I am 6 or more lathes behind. Plenty of chucks here and obviously not enough equipment (that will please Jim C to no end, I'm a good albeit ignorant come fussy customer). Originally Posted by Skew ChiDAMN!!

I was thinking about a second lathe but that was to take to work so SWMBO would never know

Calm, I'd love to win this one. mightn't like it though - as I'd be asking for 2 days spent solely on turning beads with the skew. (It's simply beyond me.) Originally Posted by Calm

As for "sparring" with , I'm not that silly.
