>Well Wally, I guess I got a little distracted with that turning tool in that small little hole. I lost one to the Woodcut tool, and another to an homemade bent neck tool for working under the rim. I've been working on making vessels with small holes, 5/8" for ones using the 1/2" homemade tool and 7/8" for the Woodcut. At those dimensions, that leaves very little space between the hole and tool(1/8") and not paying attnetion to the right thing (tool) at the right time can lead to problems (catches). (Dadgone Superbowl junk) I guess I should have quit at one, but was on a roll with a design and really wanted to get it done before the game started. What really got me was it's just like always, those danged finishing cuts to make the piece just a little better!
