sjwoodturn Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Glad I could help. Just remember that is always another way out there to do the same thing. Do some research, try out a few things and do what works best for you! Happy turning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
