    I'd change the foot treadle considerably - I don't like the a-frame type - but the rest of it is a gem. And portable!

    Pity I only have turning blanks to hand, eh? I wonder if FenceFurniture would mind if we pulled up his floor to use some joists?

    There should be enough there to work through the prototyping.
