Default aaarrrghh - speaking of stupid mistakes

Hi Bill

So You do screw up too, Ha.

Maybe you can sent it to Wally D, He uses a reverse turning lathe
apparently, as he wants to turn left handed, and had a lathe build with
left hand thread I'm told.

Have fun and take care

I have been slowly making a prototype giant spur drive to send to a fellow
turner for testing - it's an excuse to play with my mill and learn how to
use it- well, there were plenty of learning experiences, but here's one I
did't expect - when I got done, I discovered I'd made a giant spur drive for
reverse turning only - in other words, the slope of the kife blades was
backwards - grrrr - I guess there really are times when a drawing would
help. But, at least I now have an extra box full of metal shavings to mix
with the wood shavings......
