Al it is amazing how you start out with piece of wood that most people would not even use for firewood and turn it into a thing of beauty. Well done again. Also how you have taken your lathe and converted into a great tool that lets you do your turnings. Probably 40 years ago I had an old Monkey Wards lathe that I made wood riser blocks so I could turn the pedestal part of a round oak table I made. Your blocks brought back some good memories. I didn't leave mine on though but kept them just in case. I have watched many of your older videos and like them all. Your tool making and tool modifying skills are impressive. I enjoy making and modifying tools myself almost as much as I do wood turning. Looking forward to your next video. Gary

Hi again Mr. Furtado I think with those inclusions it looks like one of those pots from ancient Greece that you see on the seabed on TV programs...i think its another beautiful piece you've done there....again... I like the presentation of these utube films your doing... Its right that you should go for the best that you can afford in terms of tooling...but like you point out there's plenty out there to get you started.... It seems a long time since you made the riser blocks for that lathe.... The time it took to make & fit them was clearly a good investment...😉
