    Just thought I'd share this with you...

    My nephew Lee has a bad habit of asking me to make him things out of stupid sized bits of metal; a couple of weeks ago he asked me to make him a 35mm diameter steel sleeve with a 25mm bore and then supplied a length of 50mm bar - I couldn't find any 40mm bar locally, so had to spend hours turning the bloody thing down.

    Saturday, he dropped off a 'technical' drawing - anyone who has seen the The film "The Hudsucker Proxy" would have recognised the drawing straight away i.e. two roughly concentric circles with 120 written in the middle and 12 by the edge with a side note saying 100mm long.

    With it came a 4" long by 6" diameter block of steel - I'm suppose to make it into a tube
