Nice Brigitte Do you own a SS lathe duplicator ? I would think between the LOM and SS you should be able to copy almost anything that comes your way. ;-) I Wish you a Merry Christmas, and hopefully a great day to come. Keep up the good work. ;-) C.A.G.

His 'paid' work involved house maintenance for a local landlord, until the estate was sold off and he was made redundant. He now does house/garden maintenance for local people. So his time in his fully equipped w/s is limited. In actual fact he is a qualified wheelwright, but work in making cart/wagon wheels is sporadic at best! The LOM was brought to (mostly) use the copy template feature to speed up making spokes, which are a sort of tear-drop shape in cross section, with a "waist" about 1/3rd or the way down its length. When the machine arrived I thought I would only see him at breakfast time! Hence I called myself 'Legacy Widow'!! My business is re-seating antique chairs with split cane and rush. I also carry out repairs to the chair frames, which often require replacement rails that are broken/missing. I can do turning, but not at all good at it, so Gavin does that for me, either on a small bench top Myford lathe or on the LOM. You can see my work here << www.canecorner.co.uk >> Gavin prefers to work in wood, and is completely computer illiterate, so I do all the 'postings'!! I think this answers all your questions. Cheers Legacy Widow P.s. I am a Shop Smith 500 owner/user!!

Here in America a common term is "golf widow" or "angler widow". Those mean that the husband is an avid golfer/fisherman and the wife is left home alone while hubby spends much of his time in pursuit of his sport. If I were to apply that logic to your "sign off" - I'd assume you are married to a gent (since you're in the UK I say gent) who spends quite a bit of time using his Legacy Mill. However, if that were the case, it would be HIM posting to The Group - instead of his wife. (Just like in the USA, the wife probably knows very little about the sport and never shows up on the golf course or on the boat/pier.) Perhaps the case is that both you and your hubby have & use Legacy Mills. If so, what machine(s) do you have? In any case, we love to hear more from you about what you do with your mill(s?) there on the British Isles. Merry Christmas.

People, I guess we will all be too busy tomorrow to look at the computers, so we'd like to wish You and Yours all a Very happy Christmas and a productive New Year. Hopefully ~ you will all get the gifts you wanted! Although more of a lurker, we really enjoy reading and learning from your comments/projects, looking forward to more of them in 2015?
