Thanx for an excellent presentation. I have the Allan Batty video and your presentation is much better and clearer. You've inspired me to dust off my thread chasers and begin again.

so the tool chases :) excellent idea. besides the 250 rpm, is it important to control the muscle tension too? what i'm trying to ask, do you let the tool do the work itself? or do you have to move the tool in a specific frequency?

thanks in advance.

Very interesting, thanks. I was looking for a lubricant to stop the male threads crumbling but now I know it is because I'm cutting too deep to get the right size so I need to take a little off the outside threads with my beading tool. I like your way of measuring the spigot size too. The beech I'm using still looks a little dry though so I might need a lubricant after all. If I do, can you recommend one please?

That's very tidy work. Lovely urn too.

Best Wishes, Brendan.
