Yea, my little camera is really unsuitable for this job and Flickr seems to have cut the video down to about half its length..
Maybe I can paint a piece of scrap as it is impossible to get any image of that shiny stuff!
The tool holder came with Sally and I usually use it that way around, I think the previous owner made it, it is a neat job.
To be frank, this little shaper has so little capacity that I found it impossible to cut a slot using the manual down feed, just a tiny bit of extra bite and it was all over. The ratchet and flexible cable is a quite simple modification and I cannot understand why all shapers do not have them.
