Thanks Ken. Of course for your suggestion I need to want to sit for a
couple
of hours of piercing again. Turning is a lot more fun. On the other hand,
if
I turned the form to 1/16 or less first the piercing would be a lot
quicker.....

==============================
What are you using for the piercing? If it's a Dremel type (max 30,000 RPM),
then you should look around for a used dental air turbine. They're the same
basic device as some of the name brand wood piercing tools, but cheaper, and
so much faster than the Dremel, plus it cuts cleaner. Depending on model and
air pressure, you can get up into the 500,000 RPM range, so you can get 10
cuts during the same time as the Dremel cuts once. Really reduces sanding
time.
