You know when you've had enough for the day when....
Something like that happens quite offten....

Can you make a pretty fork to attach that one

Make it a "feature" like they call it it in SW-industry.
But this is very interesting topic....now where did I hide all those big HSS-blanks I tought I never need? I have a one ton capstan lathe (sans capstan....) consuming precious real estate and I'm wondering wh to do with it. That should be just right for this kind of work and maybe I should make something quorn like decoration for the mantelpiece before retiring.
