I have been slowly making a prototype giant spur drive to send to a fellow turner for testing - it's an excuse to play with my mill and learn how to use it- well, there were plenty of learning experiences, but here's one I did't expect - when I got done, I discovered I'd made a giant spur drive for reverse turning only - in other words, the slope of the kife blades was backwards - grrrr - I guess there really are times when a drawing would help. But, at least I now have an extra box full of metal shavings to mix with the wood shavings......
