A strange request perhaps.
SWMBO has tasked me to convert a clean, blown, natural ostrich egg into a
container for a specific purpose.
The egg is approx. 6.5 x 5.0 inches (165 x 127mm) and 2-3 mm thick. Makes
the eyes water just thinking about it!
Can be cut either longways or sideways.
As this is a one-off and we only have 1 egg, I would like to get it right
first time. Also only a week to produce the finished article, to include
hinge, fastener, turned base etc.
Any experience or thoughts on such stupidity please?
I have a decent range of hand & power tools but have never worked on
anything this fragile.
Many thanks
Nick.
==================
Have you considered telling SWMBO that she will NOT be obeyed? There is a
last straw for everybody no matter how down-trodden.
