If it grinds and finishes okay, it could be used for bolsters unless you want a match for pins in which case the pins are bound to show different if pined. Frank

Hey Don, too bad we couldn't some how just plug you in with what you know and have given out in the past we would have mega answers and ways to do things. I too am way slowed back in the making and getting crippled up. I lost in in this last move to a 7" X 9" shop but the excitement of the...

Calvin, Wouldn't the liners give a better "working base" for his first one? Frank

Sorry, I had a very knowledgeable friend build mine for me. I sure can't help. Frank

They look very good and I'm sure there is a want for them in the market place when they are well done like that. Frank

I figured I could at least talk about him and yes a few like you Jim might right away pick up on who it was. A most important friend in my life ! Frank

All the right tips from the man who came up with this machine. Frank
