Bob,
Thats a great idea.. turning it in a lathe.. I had not though of that..
hmmm.. I have a nice lathe here at work too. I will have to think about how
to mount it in the 3 jaw chuck without warping it or maring the surface any
ideas?? And I will have
to take just the tinyest cuts possible to keep it from warping but I have three
more 'spares' to test on.
