re: Painting with wood method or alternatively patches packet

I hope the veneer tape will work ok Paul. I’ll give it a test today to find out. I haven’t made any grease paper yet, I keep forgetting it when we have bacon. I can probably get some suet from the butcher. I’m not sure how many layers I can have per piece of the grease paper. I could also use the lubrication sheets that are for with paper shredders. I think my wife has some. They are probably expensive though.

I just ordered the Jet drum sander from my tool guy, but the person I spoke to didn’t think they had it in stock. Every year they charter a ship which sails from Stavanger to Hunningvåg/Nordkapp. The cruise lasts 11 days. They have a lot of well know American, English and Norwegian woodturners who give free woodturning courses during the cruise. A huge amount of woodturning tools, lathes, drum sanders, bandsaws, etc. are onboard to be sold at various ports along the way. It’s probably a lot of fun (and really expensive). It looks like my drum sander is onboard so I will have to wait until they get back to take delivery. Here’s a photo of the ship.
