Hi Giorgos,
That is a very clever design, I like the extendable capability.

Don't worry about your English - it's better than some of the "English speakers" on this forum :funny:

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:

Really cleaver idea Georgos, I really must have a go at making these sorts of tools, almost as much fun as using them! :thumbs:
Its easy to make this and it cost me almost nothing, i pay only 4 Euro for iron bar and 2 afternoons work to fix
Regards Giorgos

Don't worry about that, people are too busy enjoying your quality turning. Besides, it's always impressive when people can communicate in multiple launguages, puts us to shame.

I applaud any effort to make ones own tools and this is as good an effort as I have seen.

Well done young Gio.
