ever feel like they're against you?
I moved in June and in the move damaged my grinding station and between school, military obligations and an injury couldn't get it fixed until yesterday. No grinder station meant that I couldn't sharpen tools so I couldn't turn. Well yesterday I finally got the grinder station fixed and today I tried to turn a shaving brush handle that I really wanted to get done in the next couple days and ...
I had planned on using the chuck jaws to turn most of the handle and then use a bottle stopper mandrel to finish it up. However, my pin jaws are too small to hold the blank and my smallest bowl jaws are too big. Arrrgh!!
Sorry I just needed to whine.
