Started the day wanting to turn a very simple wooden cylinder with a hole down the centre. Sould not take more than 1/2hour if that.
Found a piece of wood suitable for the job in hand, mounted it on the lathe made a chucking point placed in chuck raedy to drill hole down the centre, OH bother I have the right size fortner bit but will only drill half way through. OK I hear you say drill from both ends the problem being is that the pole that goes through is only just going to be a slide fit so any misalignment would be a pain.
OK so luckily I have the right equipment and materials to make a small extention (did not want a over long one.wife laughing in the background with that comment)
I was even lucky to find a grub screw of the right length job done tomorrow I will get the job done
