• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Finishing up a 9" bowl on the lathe with polishing mops this morning. Looking nice with an application of carnauba wax. I had got to the final buffing stage with the finishing mop when it started hammering down with rain outside. Momentarily distracted as I looked out the window at this strange, unfamiliar wet stuff coming out of the sky, the mop snatched the bowl and flung it under the lathe where it broke into two pieces. A day's work up the Swanee. A nice piece of macrocarpa (monterey cypress) I was planning on giving to my sister-in-law at her 60th birday party tomorrow. Yes, the air went a bit blue in there...

Sympathies. Every time I use the polishing mop on the lathe I am frightened of that happening. I have learnt to do the inside first which gives me more grip.
 
You are not alone in have things thrown on the floor by a mop, shame about the bowl but I would try gluing it back together.
