Postie should deliver a little package tomorrow.  Hope it helps.

“Good morning Mrs Boo, here’s a card, I’m just off to the workshop, call me when lunch is ready” @tv101 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, as funny as that is, she may not let me back in the house for my lunch!

@Tv101 I’ve seen just uninstalling this tube as you would a dot and then fill the inner with ebony and superglue or an ebony dowel.

@tv101 After Sat’s session, I’ve been trying to think of ways of just cutting a ring into the board … How about using a circular cutter, cut a circle in a piece of plywood of a similar depth of the…   Read more»

@tv101 @deej Tried out my idea of burning the ring into the wood and it worked not too bad, better in ebony than rosewood. I should have cleaned the burr on the brass tube from cutting before gluing the rings…   Read more»
