Brad send me the pictures if you would? I turn pens, wine bottle stoppers
and cork screws, etc. on my lathe at home. It's an old clunky one that my
Grandfather taught me on, then became mine when he past. Wouldn't trade it
for the world. I have been thinking about making a shift knobs for the
Midget and would like to see his work.
