Rummaging through a load of photos the other day and came across this one. Don't you just love the feel of turning wet wood?

you don't need any dust extraction but the down side is the long streamers block mine up when sucking it all up.

Ah, it's a really old 3 phase Viceroy that was actually at my old secondary school from when it was built in the late 50's. They had to get rid of it when it was obvious H & S wouldn't allow kids to use it as it was too dangerous. I had to fit an inverter to it which meant I'd got variable speed in both directions. All it cost me was a food platter as the chap that sorted it out for me was a member of the Sealed Knot Society, and of course the price of the inverter (about £120). It is really robust and will probably see me out.

There is nothing to compare with turning wet wood it is a sheer joy to do and to behold especially sycamore
